Bob, I printed side by side with a Zone VI and an Aristo VC head. The Artiso
was by far a faster, broader spectrum, more reliable and consistent head
than the Zone VI which I consider a PIA to use. The enlarger column itself
also had some adjustment issue which compared to the Omega chassis made
working with it a big pain.

I had the Aristo hooked up with a Metrolux II timer which was also a great
timer. Allows for the integration of a light source either the enlarger
source or UV.

DEAR JOHN,
        I would be very interested in the reasons you don't like the Zone VI
VC head.  I have been considering buying a cold light VC head (no rush) and
I was trying to decide which one to get.
                CHEERS!
                        BOB

Eric, I have a Zone VI VC head that I don't want, but I wouldn't 
recommend it for various reasons. I can give you details if you're 
interested.
Regards, John
