It is hard to imagine that someonw who owns elinchroms would also not have a pair of flashes.

I've got both flashes and Elinchrom strobes, but given a choice would rather shoot the Elinchroms.

I have a generic light kit with radio triggers AND I have a 580/430/st-e2 setup.

I think the light kit and flashwave triggers are going up for sale though.. They work great, but I'm happier using ETTL for most things (and falling back to Manual when needed) rather than manual all the time.
