Jason,

You really should take a look at all the new DVI products out there. They are meant for non-permanent installations. Gefen is very durable and anything that uses Fiber ST or copper DVI long length cable is just as durable as any other option.

You must be doing a lot of shows to be seeing that much DVi gear, if you're seeing a lot of DVI gear on your shows doesn't that say something?

DVI delivers the clearest and more accurate representation of the original source available. If you would've seen upfront and how clear the screen looked without the use of Imagepros you would agree. Ask Ian, he was there. The DVI fed 3 projector based screen was breath taking, ask Mike Karsch how he felt about the clarity of the screen. These guys only use DVI and have s[pent a considerable amount of money on Thinklogical extenders to make DVI their standard and they were total pros.

You keep saying you are doing a lot of shows with DVI on it. It would seem to me that this indicates that people like the look and clarity of DVI better than anything else because it is better.

Before you make a final judgment on the durability, read some of the specs on the boxes.

The Gefen super booster are so small and compact, not much to them you can literally throw them around and it wouldn't effect them. Same with the Thinklogical Vis-23s

ImagePros constantly overheat, you can't stack them without them overheating, and they get just as damaged so the point could be made that Imagepros aren't meant to be mobile out of their racks either.
