Another great flash "system" was used by the inventor of flash, Doc
Edgerton. He once took a picture of Cambridge, MA at night from a
plane. The power was so great it melted the giant quartz xenon tube he
had made for that purpose. The tube and the picture are on display down
the hall at MIT where he once had his office. Other great moments in
flash photography are on display in this improvised museum of flash.

The answer to this is actually quite simple. A flash "system" is
approximately 1.5 times the price of a simple flash. It's also very
likely that it will have a couple of extra buttons that you'll never
remember how to use.
Guys from our generation probably referred to them as "fancy flash
gizmos".
See you later, gs
