Here is a good review of the unit. Seems like it'd be fine for powering more than one light. I'm considering picking one up as well.

Rec'd mine about 3 weeks ago. Haven't had a chance to use it on location yet - but first impressions are great!!! Well built/balanced/at about 15lbs. Power outlets for two ac strobes. Quick recycle times w/my Photogrnic Powerlights. Full use of modeling lights. So far, so good.

I know alienbees is right here in the US and are known for excellent customer service..so i just payed the extra $50

So far so good for me. I haven't used mine extensively yet, but I've taken it out a couple times and I can't really complain. It gets my approval (and Pudgy the tortoise seems to like it as well :p)

Mine will arrive on Sep 4. Was going to go with the Vagabond but the shipping was going to kill me to American Samoa (couple hundred dollars). This unit only cost $45 to ship UPS and I'm tracking it right now (just arrived in New Zealand) via UPS. Will let everyone know how it works out.

Have used one since the first of the year (for approx 30 on-site shoots) - what a nice peice of gear!!! We use it to power our mid-size Photogenic Powerlights (PL 750's). Have adapted a roller cart w/the Tronix Explorer Inverter at bottom and the Powerlights in the comaprtmernt above, with a removable 9 ft. light stand that quickly goes on a 'stud' at the back of the cart. Can wheel in, set-up, and meter lights in about 3 minutes. Wonderful for our commercial work - on site family portraits - Altar returns - but most especially, for our wedding receptions (we work almost always w/Bands and as you all know, when the 'Band is in the house', there aren't any ac power outlets left for anyone else). It has encanced our location lighting greatly.
