My Wife wants to get me some studio strobes for Christmas but the ones that I really want are out of the budget as I want the Elinchrom 500 BX-RI's

What is the budget? It would obviously be better to go with the BxRi's as I've been in the same boat between those and the D lite 4's. And although there's not much difference in quality of light, I've constantly been told to go with the BxRi's for the build quality, construction and added features.

I started with Dlite-4's, used them for main and fill lights and started accumulating a modifier collection, and later I added 600RX strobes and moved the Dlites to background, hair, and accent lights and sometimes to use on location (lighter to transport and cheaper to replace).
