Old Skool Dragging Myself into New Skool DMX

So I'm an Old Skool audio guy, back from a 10 year 'vacation' from the biz, and starting a small production company here in Omaha, Nebraska.  I've now got all the usual toys - a JBL 900 series compact line array, some Elation bits n pieces to start a small lighting bridge, a Presonus SL24 mixer & stagebox, a mile of cables & boxes...all the normal startup stuff.

I know absolutely ZERO about DMX, and thus am buying the MAESTRO DMX to run my little shows.  Every demo video I've seen runs a TON of backwall lights n movers!  12...14...even 18 fixtures!

What do you think is the absolute minimum to start?  I currently have 2) Elation Spot movers, 4) Elation 7 Batten 14's and a single Elation SixBar 1000.  I have a bunch of Global F14 mini truss out in the garage and am going to make a basic back bar so I can practice DMX tricks with the MaestroDMX (pic attached).

What should be next on my wish list?
