Would have used two but decided since it's full SPS and 32" tall, three would be better. One fixture will cover 36"x36" easily but for full SPS, two would be better. I only suggested it because you had the vertex 260 on your list which is close to $1900 while one mitra is $1100 so it seemed like another option worth considering, not quite as much power but better spread and color which I think is worth some sacrifice.

nice dimensions mike. not that i've seen either light but if the mitras has significantly less disco effect / colour banding i'd go that route personally.

I've seen this effect from every fixture I've seen in person other than my Kessil which so far which includes:

- maxspect razor
- ai sol
- radion

I think some (more cursed) people detect it better than others.
