   I sure would!

   I was thinking more in terms of much bigger capability than bigger venues,   
   which would work best with separate components.

   Depends on how much power would be required.

   I'd prefer tiny personal monitors which require a lot less power.

   Sounds like low power stuff.

   Sure, but because of how it's designed, it's versatile enough to be flexible   
   too.

   It all depends on how complex you want to make the  system ;)

   Can those 'snapshots' also configure the settings to match them?
