purchasing lighting system

[Manhattan]

I am in the process of purchasing a studio lighting system,my first, and I have narrowed it down to these two monolight systems Novatron ML 500-2 lights 500w/s and Paterson Stellar 1000- 2 lights 1000w/s. I was wondering if
anyone of you has had any experience- good or bad- with any of these two
systems. Any and all input will be apprecaited. Thanks

I've used a set of Novatrons for years. Not the particular units you are looking at, but I have had a great experience overall. Even though the less expensive of many studio kits, they have been workhorses and have traveled many thousands of miles to many shoots and are still cooking.

Good luck,

Bill
