Sooo, I just got back from buying a bunch of stuff from the local distrubor for a buddy of mine. Sending all this stuff to him next week. Total price: about 1040,- USD.
Been doing some full power test pops and everything's working fine, the softboxes are in fact genuine Elinchroms... Certainly buying more soonish.

Curiously enough, I just noticed that the FXRi strobe says 90-140/180-260 VAC 50-60 Hz on the back. I thought the FXRi was just plain 180-260 VAC before (and thus not being BXRi).
I also printed out the Elinchrom product sheet with the new Indirect 150cm Deep Octa on it and showed it to my dealer, asking whether he knew anything about it, and he said yeah but he didn't know why it was already on the product sheet. It's planned to be released during Photokina (end of September) as far as he knows.
