Thanks for your input

I cant believe no one has bothered to answer, someone must have had experience with one or the other, or preferably both?

Should have named the thread look at my boxes, or UPS man coming, it would have got more looks.

Thanks Steve for taking the time to answer my post

Yes i must admit when your new to a forum and no one bothers to answer your questions or at least try, it does make you feel a little unwelcome

Yes i did try to change the subject but it won’t let me

Guess i will just have to pick one

There is around £80 between the two kits

Thanks Again

Lucy

I cant speek for the Bowens, but the Elinchrom is a very nice strobe! I have been using D-lites and added the 400bx to the set. Build quality is quite good. Flash is rock solid stable. You can fire it 20 times in a row with a flash meter and the output will not vary even a tenth of a stop. Elinchrom umbrella rods are 7mm not 8mm, so other brallys will not fit the hole. The 400bx has an additional clamp at the tilt adjuster that will hold any size rod. All in all a very nice reliable kit!!
