This is going to weird, but I think the choice between elinchrom and profoto comes down to which one is the most inspiring to the user. Both of them are equally professional systems and there are only tiny differences between each other. Ultimately, I think it comes down to what the user looks at and decides is more inspiring...maybe something intangible.

Yea, it's ok if it gets a little weird :)
There could be a opinion from somebody that has never used either might make complete sense and will help me make my decision. I don't mind sorting through the opinions.
Profoto computer integration is pretty cool IMO and i really want to play with it

Just mounted Profoto inserts on my brackets for the 7 ft Octa and 45" dish today. Pretty sweet!
