Which is lighter, Chauvet Professional F2 or YES TECH MG9 P2.9?

YES TECH MG9 P2.9 is the lighter rig: 25 kg/m² against 27 kg/m². Across this wall that is 181 kg of difference — 1,107 kg versus 1,288 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.

Which draws more power?

YES TECH MG9 P2.9 draws more: 700 W/m² against 666 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 26.6 kW versus 25.2 kW, and 10 versus 9 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.

Which resolves finer?

Both resolve to about the same density — 112,896 and 112,896 pixels per square metre — so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.

Whole cabinets rarely hit an identical size, so each wall is the closest build to a real video format (16:9 or 16:10) near 8 m wide for that tile — 8.00 × 5.00 m and 8.00 × 4.50 m respectively.

What the numbers say

Both resolve to about the same density — 112,896 and 112,896 pixels per square metre — so pick on weight, power or what your shop already owns rather than on image detail.
YES TECH MG9 P2.9 is the lighter rig: 25 kg/m² against 27 kg/m². Across this wall that is 181 kg of difference — 1,107 kg versus 1,288 kg, which moves point loads and can change the hoist call.
YES TECH MG9 P2.9 draws more: 700 W/m² against 666 W/m² at full white. For this wall that is 26.6 kW versus 25.2 kW, and 10 versus 9 circuits at a 16 A/230 V supply with an 80% derate.
Data is lighter on YES TECH MG9 P2.9: 8 runs against 16, at 9 and 18 panels per port respectively (60 Hz, 8-bit, ports loaded to 80%). Fewer runs means fewer home runs to pull and fewer processor ports to find.
Different cabinet formats: 500 × 1000 mm against 500 × 500 mm, so 80 tiles versus 144 for the same wall. Fewer, larger cabinets build faster; smaller ones give finer control over wall dimensions and are easier to handle alone.
Estimated truck space: 4.6 m for Chauvet Professional F2 against 5.8 m for the other, including spares, cases and cabling.
