Now that I've gone the Pocketwizard flextt5 route, I have a lot more options when it comes to diffusers and light panels.

I thought this was a great price right now for this kit. Does anyone have any apprehension to either the Halo 45 or the Apollo 28? Both of them (And a throw in reflector) for $188 seems like a bargain.

The apollo 28 is a nice box, but there are issues with it. The flash is mounted high in the box facing backwards so the light output across the face is not completely even. Its a pain to have to undo the panel to get inside to make adjustments although using ettl thats less of a concern. The price listed in your link is $222.70 though, did the price go up?

It's 222.70 but has the (Add to cart to see real price option (I hate when stores do that :) )).

That price makes it more reasonable.
