Has anyone tried new Einsteins from Alien Bees?

I placed an order for two Einsteins and some light mods from Alien Bees, but they're back-ordered until October.

Fortunately for me, I'm not in a rush, but I'd like to hear from others who may have some experience with Einsteins, what they think of them.

Anyone?

Thanks!

I think most of the people who have, have shared their thoughts in those threads if you read far enough into them.

There's an einstein group on flickr as well but last I checked there was little discussion going on.

Yes, I dug deeper and found some people who seem to be pleased with them so far.

I know the Einsteins that shipped already had trouble with Pocket Wizards, and they plan to have that fixed by the time my order ships (so they say!).
