Why sure, I have a couple of Norman 200B units. They also recycle in less than one second at full power (200ws) and give 200 full power flashs per charge. The down side? Heavy, heavy, heavy, and no automatics. The newer 200C (not much plastic in them either) is about a pound and a half lighter, but doesn't recycle quite as fast, or give quite as many flashes per charge. The is also a 400ws unit available. These units are also very, very rugged. Some have been doing 10 weddings a week for 30 years (mine look like it too). The Lumedyne units are quite similar, but unfortunately have ugly plastic cases.
