Labor intensive, heavy, etc.
I would be looking at a line array rig (of similar performance) for anything that much of an 850 rig would cover. Way easier and better sounding (for many of the listeners) all around. My 32 box RCF based rig would offer more options for coverage without the hassles and difficulty of flying and pointing. Maybe not the same SPL capability but more useable SPL.
Or, we develop a new line array rig one step up from the rig you saw last time you came by the shop. I have the engineering technology in house with 2 already proven commercial designs

I'm not going to live forever... I've figured that out. Tonnage is tonnage... and we have minds and hands and can figure out ways & means to deal with tonnage... we can have fork lifts & backhoes at both ends if need be, and the van, 20ft. box truck, and 48ft. semi trailer/truck combination all make about the same milage... and we already have all of that, and those are already sunk costs.
Flying an equitable line array requires a load bearing roof... and we don't have that... probably won't either. Besides: ground stacking is fine for what we do... sight-lines are not a problem, nor is square footage. Weather can be an issue... I'm thinking an 850 rig is as weather resistant as most anything else. "Cutting edge" flavor of the month never comes into play. There's plenty of opportunity in the local area for a bigger sledgehammer if we had it.
You only live once.
