Just came yesterday. I am pumped to shoot this puppy in some mixed small flash groups, and see what kind of color I get. I planned to be pleased.

Yeah, I want to upgrade my 400BX's to BXRi's for the remote power adjustments myself.

Just need to justify the costs.

Oh, and congrat's! :)

I noticed you have several Speedlite's (Like me) and an AB.

Why did you decide to switch brands now?

Are you going to sell it and get a matching BXRi? lol

Since I shoot mostly architecture, I needed a light that mixed well color wise with small flashes. The alienbee couldn't do that at low power.

And the AB is probably gonna go up for sale.

Yup!! The PCB and Speedotron 7" grids will both fit the Elinchrom 7" grid reflector.
