Alien bee Zeus... anyone have one?

[Nightscape]

I know this has only been out for a while...

Would this be good for a small to large studio?

Small= apartment room (10X10)
large= 50X100' room

I was going to get the AB-1600s until I saw this. Seems like a lot more power.

Overkill for 99% of studio applications.

If you have a 10x10' area all you really need is a B400.

I will have a 10X10 area but I also shoot Jeeps and outdoor portraits.

This is a quote from Paul Buff owner of alien bees. "It really depends on your shooting goals and style. I would probably suggest the AB system for diversified studio shooting and the Zeus system for outdoor work."

What if your shooting both? Does the Zeus go down to 1/64th too?

Why not get your answers from the source?

but doesn't the Zeus system require AC power?

Outdoor doesn't necesarily mean the woods. ;) Sometimes outdoor might be right outside your garage. And if you do need portable power for the woods they have solutions for that too.
