After over thirty five years of being a Multiblitz user (both 'P' & 'V' mount) I've decided to move (slowly) to Elinchrom, for reasons I won't bore people with! I'll still be keeping hold of my old lights, just intend to bolster my stock with Elinchrom now and jumped in at the two extremes, I have a D-Lite One & a ELC Pro HD 500. The One was bought as I needed a head with a small form factor and low power to use in those hard to get places and the 500 for its 'creative' modes, short recycle time and flash duration. I'm no stranger to using Elinchrom, having borrowed, hired or used them in other peoples studios over the years (as well a many other brands) so knew what to expect and certainly the controls were no mystery, though the 500 did take a quick read through the manual. As for modifiers, well I'll just get some speed rings for my current sofboxes and have already put together an EL to 'V' mount adapter (half an hour with a hack saw, file & drill to graft an old EL speedring onto a 'V' mount) so I can use some of my current modifiers;
