I agree. Both are probably great products. I find the Maverick has enough power for me but I would love to have the HS. I was lighting with 750 watt incandescent fixture before so to match my setup I put the Maverick on 75%. With BBS and Cineo the color stays true even when dimming.

I just got a Maverick (also a Foton & Machsix) a month ago and I am very happy with it so far. The build quality is really outstanding. For the most part the BBS and Cineo lights look the same. But I believe that the Cineo light is slightly better designed.
I went with Cineo because they seem to be the most transparent with their fixtures. Also before ordering I emailed Cineo and asked a few questions and Tom replied with a very knowledgeable response. After purchasing the lights from a 3rd party retailer, Tom emailed me back (out of the blue) and asked how I was getting along with the lights. He was able to help me out with a few additional requests (cases and softboxes). This is service that is rarely available these days.

I am sorry your thread is kind of old… so this might be for people looking at it now. I have CS5.5 and CS6. A video card is really important! I had one desktop with a supported video card and one without. The supported computer could smoothly playback 1080i the other could not. I upgraded the video card and now both can playback 1080i.
