Is the QClass worth it?

"The value you deliver for that price point is unmatched in the industry. It was fun, engaging, enlightening and collaborative. I’ve been through many manufacturer-led trainings in my career, and none of them came close to what you guys put on last week."

I think one of QLab’s greatest strengths is the ability to switch performance-specific conditions such as branching storylines or double/triple-casting all at once within a single cue list, with just a single action.
