Newbee needs help - lights for house party

After reviewing many posts & seeing how helpful folks on this forum are I've decided to post.

I'm a total newbee & looking to light up a room for house party type situation. Any suggestions would be great.

Consider:
- budget on the cheap (maybe $300)
- small room - 15' x 25'
- probably no fog

I was thinking a Jellyfish & a Color Burst 8. I've been looking at product videos, but some real world advice/suggestions would be great.

My reasoning was the Jellyfish would throw some dots on the walls/ceiling - nice angle of spread for a small room & it would sort of give the impression of movement. The Color Burst 8 would provide a different look & some wash. I was thinking the Color Burst 8 over two "4's" because DMX capability might be nice to have now or down the road.

Along those lines, how good does this stuff work on sound reaction? I'm concerned that w/o control there's no good way to change the patterns around from song to song. I know both those lights are compatible with the UC3 controller, but would I need separate UC3's? Or is a basic DMX controller really the solution, or does that just complicate things. Ideas?

Thanks!
