He responds quickly to questions and ships out in a very timely manner, even with custom adapters like I got.

I'm thinking about taking the plunge on his 43" reflector...

That light meter does not replace your flash trigger(s).

It is a light meter that can trigger your Pocket Wizards, then measure the output, then tell you what the exposure is.

I am still getting the flash trigger, which I believe is the PocketWizard FlexTT5?

I was planning on getting the Sekonic L-478DR Light Meter instead of the PocketWizard AC3 Zone Controller. Here is the description snippet for the light meter:

Sekonic L-478DR wrote:
Wireless Flash Power Control

Wirelessly control and modify the power output of PocketWizard-mounted/enabled strobes or flashes directly from your meter.

Three sliders allow you to dial up or dial down flash power from full to 1/64th power directly from the meter.

Up to three zones can be managed; when working with more than one zone, determine each zone's values individually in order to establish desired lighting ratios, then an overall exposure sum will be determined.

To me, that sounds like an AC3 built right into the light meter.

I think this might be it; this might be my finalized shopping list:
