The manufacturer's website posts several positive user comments. Does
anyone here have personal experience. At $179.00  I wonder if it's
worth the price and if I would use it enough to justify the cost.

A link would have been very useful.  For production use, where one is
creating a series of print, I suppose any tool is good and for a commercial
lab the price does not seem that far out of line.  For the home darkroom.
That's more than I spent for a D-2 and a D-3 Omega.

Here's a link. http://www.dauxlite.com/ But what I'm looking for is
opinion based on personal experience with the product.

It's a flashlight. You can buy a case of flashlights for less, add pieces of
ROSCO gel to each light and make a brace of specialized flashing tools for
less than this thing.  And the "precise calibration" means nothing since
you'll be moving the thing during the flashing exposure.
