Seeing Red?

Well, I can't say anything about why your color wheel was the way it was. The product web page is right here:

X-Move LED PLUS

I see red in there.

One thing I can say is that anyone wanted to start on the DMX road should try MyDMX and any of American DJ lights. We had a race in the club to see who could get a lightshow up and running. Me using MyDMX and a X scans and another lighting person using Martin LJ and MX4's. All I can say is that I had set the whole club up in about 5 minutes whilst the other person was still trying to fart around with MLJ 2 hours later!

I last used DMX software in the Showcad days and even I learnt DMX again in about 5 minutes with ADJ/MyDMX.

Can we have a red gel please? Lol!

My experiences are very different. Regardless though, my results are similar to what you're saying.

I started out with nothing, then ended up with a little rig with high-tech FX, simple cans and dimmer packs running off an Elation/ADJ DMX Operator, which even though is a low end/intro level console, has a decent set of features. However, I can't visualize, I have to see things, so making scenes was difficult for me because I'd have to set things up and actually SEE what I was doing. Again, though, keep in mind this is a simple console controller.

Switching to MyDMX wasn't exactly a slow process. I took to it right away. For me, it was quite easy to start doing more complex scenes(such as things using movement in my moving yoke fixtures and other cool color changing effects on other lights). Stuff I could do in MyDMX was simply put, IMPOSSIBLE with my DMX Operator. Even so, my analytical mind can be slow at times dealing with MyDMX.

Of course, I suppose with the right operator and the right console(say, Serra Ava and a Road Hog), I'm sure that individual could come up with great results equally fast. Just the right tools for the right job.

We'll have to wait for someone from support, marketting, R&D or sales to come up with why there is no red on the X-Move LED Plus fixtures. I've been debating a pair of these myself and if I got no red, I can't use them because I absolutely MUST have red on my color wheel.
