There seems to be no technical data from the PrimaLuceLab and very limited information on flicker, color distribution, uniformity, etc. At the prices they're charging, the GIOTTO really needs to be near perfect. Automated flats with the motorized cover is very appealing though. Can anyone provide or point me to sources with this data? I haven't been able to find what I want with searches. Thanks.

Can’t speak on the PL flat panels, but I have recently tested the gemini automatic flat panels from Aliexpress and I was very impressed, I also tested the Wanderer Astro flat panels and they also worked perfectly for me, though unjustifiably more expensive.

Would be interesting to see what other think of the GIOTTO..

I use the Wanderer and the Deep Sky Dad panels.  Both are great.  The Wanderer has slightly more robust construction.  I've never used the Aliexpress one AstroPharma references.  I wouldn't buy a Giotto, because any size you need, even the really large ones (which I don't recommend using), Wanderer has for much less than the Giotto.  I have not done any scientific analysis on them, and I don't use them to do "science" like exoplanet transits or anything, but I think my image results speak for themselves as to whether the panels are sufficiently good.
