im assuming these are the older models.

how do they compare to the newer ones or even the alienbees?

i found a guy selling some ultra600's and ultra1200's for about $150 for the 600
is that a good deal?

i currently have two AB800s and need at least one more strobe...2 would be nice
so im thinking of getting 1 or 2 ultra600s from this guy
how long do you think these things will last me?
and whats a reasonable price for the 600s and 1200s?

I use an Ultra 1200 along side my two ab400's and it is still a very capable light. Fairly bulky, but as long as youre not worried about size/putting it on a boom you should be satisfied.
I know I am!
