SP Systems...anyone?

Can one of you lighting gurus please comment on the quality of SP System's home studio/portrait kits? The price seems to be very reasonable ($500-$650). Thanks.

I have SP Studio 160 WS and 320 WS kit. Although I bought them two years ago, they were lightly used. The 320 WS kit is already show lots of problems and one of the light stand section extension can be pull out of the bottom section completely. I just recently bought Speedotron (very expensive but reliable). If I had to it all over again, I should have bought Alien Bees for comparable price with much better quality and warranty. Hope this helps. Ben
