Anyone else here using the YONGNUO ST-E2

Any pros and cons? Also, I want to get more ideas using this device in HSS mode.

Your inputs area highly appreciated!

I purchased one just over 3 weeks ago, but it did not fire any AF-assist beam at all - so in very low-light conditions my 5D2 couldn't focus.
I also found it an inconvenient variable to keep worrying about making sure that the infra-red beam system would communicate with the speedlites in my softbox/umbrella etc.
I returned it, and purchased a set of Pixel Kings instead.
