good question! that wasn't there when i ordered last wk! darn.

wondering what's the difference between teh 22' beauty dish i have on order vs the higher output?! aside from the higher output.

i've shot with my buddy's reg 22' white beauty dish and i found it perfect, i'm afraid the high output may be overkill.

Higher output one is much cheaper. Call them or check on AB web site.

It's not overkill because you can just lower the power or move it back a bit. I have the high output one and I'm happy with it. I'm pretty sure the $20 difference in price was due to the cost of paint and the labor of painting it, not performance.

it's actually $50 difference. 22' beauty dish $120 plus $10 sock. the high out put silver 22' beauty dish is only $80 including the sock!
