Hi David, I'm new to the site so I hope I'm replying correctly. : ) Santa 'brought' an AlienBees light for Christmas this year - the middle model - I believe it's 600.....I love it and would gladly purchase another one. Not that I've shot a ton with it, but I've yet to use it at full power. Hmmmm, maybe this weekend. : ) I use it with a 45" photoflex umbrella - the convertible one - that's really cool too.
