Alien Bees vs Photogenic Powerlight?

[dennykyser]

I am getting ready to order another monolight but am up in the air over the alienbees. I got one and although have not used it a bunch am not dissapointed in it. I was leary when I felt how light it is compared to my Medalight 600-XL. I am between the Alien Bees 800 or the Photogenic Powerlight 1250C.

Has anyone had a bad experience with either of these, or used the two side by side to compare?

I wouldn't think twice about it.....Alien Bees. If you want heavier duty, go White Lightning since they make Alien Bees. I have used White lightning for about 20 years and could not speak more highly of a company or product. Customer service is fantastic even though I've rarely used it.
