Great fixture that puts out a very nice quality of light at a great price point. The option to change color temp by swapping bulbs is nice, though I have yet to try out the tungsten lamp.
As for experience, my only issue was that the stand mount is average. It's very well suited to being on a normal stand but I would say that it may be a bit weak for more complicated mounting (overhead, on booms, etc). I replaced the stock mount with a beefy, metal Avenger yoke to baby-stand adapter and now it's perfect. It's a $14 10 minute modification.
I'm planning to pick up another 150 and possibly one of the CDM 70 lights as well. Very happy.
Go for it.

I have 2 of the 150s and love them.
It's about a 650w. The issue with this light though is that it's not a hot restrike, meaning that every time you turn it on and off there's about a 5-6 minutes cool down time before the light can be turned on again, and it takes another 15 seconds or so to cycle to the correct color temperature. Not great if you're in a hurry and needs to move quickly from setup to setup.
