Interesting... I assume the MAC250s are not dimmed. Are they old type MAC250s or modern Entours?
It seems that the 5Rs are brighter by a significant amount, and bearing in mind their comprehensive feature set and the fact they are cheaper than 250s, look like a real alternative to the mainstream manufacturers smaller moving heads.
I'll need to get a demo of them...

You are correct, the MAC250's are not dimmed, and there are low hours on these lamps. They are the original MAC250's, not Plus, Krypton, or Entour. I have used the newer versions and they are a bit brighter than the old style but still not nearly as bright as the PS5R. When I get double booked and have to use the MAC250's by themselves it makes me really miss the PS5R. I really can't wait to get rid of the MAC250's and plan on having at least 8 PS5R's this year.
Besides the fact that they're brighter, they're also smaller and lighter weight than the MAC250's. I really noticed this on a gig a couple of weeks ago while climbing a ladder with the MAC250's...
