Einstein vs Profoto

I think that strobe hasn't proven itself yet. Unlike the Profoto and PCB brand which has been used by pro photographers for quite a while now.
The studio I work for got the Rovelight and for what it is worth ... it's an OK strobe for it's price. It's not heavy duty and have it's quirks.

Addendum-
Another extremely convenient feature for on-location strobe shooting, worth re-emphasizing is...
a cable-less/cord-less strobe's liberating flexibility, regardless of manufacturer/brand.
For example, I find the Profoto B1's (either bare or with my modifiers compactly collapsed but rods left in the softboxes) enables me to: set up & tear down in seconds(yes seconds, rather than minutes; by practicing, practicing, practicing) - TO GET IN & TO GET OUT! when often, time is not on your side (such as at weddings, or multiple sites within on-location applications, etc.).

Good luck in whatever you decide and works best for YOU in your current & potential future applications. Happy shooting!

I use a studio that's equipped with all AB and Einstein strobes. For my home studio and when on location, I was an Elinchrom guy with a bunch of modifiers. In other words, I'm pretty heavily invested in Elinchrom. I now own a Profoto B1 and a B2, and I picked up two Elinchrom adapters to allow me to use my Elinchrom modifiers. I have to say that I'm pretty much only using the B1 and B2 for most things now. No question that the Profoto stuff is expensive, but the build quality difference is very noticeable. Having ETTL and HSS when you need it is awesome. The ability to use the controller on your camera's hotshoe to change lighting ratios on the fly, manually adjust each light, turn on one of the modeling lights when you need a little extra light for focus, etc. just makes things so much easier. And my experience with Canon has been that Profoto seems to do a better job getting the exposure right than Canon does with speedlights! I'll set up two lights, change lighting ratios, modify aperture and shutter speed, turn on and off HSS, mess with ISO, and the histogram will look almost exactly the same (depending on how much ambient light affects the shot). It's pretty impressive. Normally, I'd be out there with my meter to check exposures from my main and fill lights, and I save time with Profoto just getting it right. The guy who owns and runs the studio I mentioned at the beginning has been a Paul Buff guy going way back. I showed him the B1, and he really wanted to hate it...and then he bought one...and recently a B2. Just saying!
