Seems like it can replace the grid, plus do a WHOLE lot more. (Increases flash output, gobos, varying degrees of zoom to light.)
Edit to add: Just got clarification from Spencer - the MagGrid does have a softer falloff then the Beam, and is smaller/more portable. The Magbeam is going to give a much harder edge than the MagGrid would.
Another difference is the quality of flare. Because the light is now collimated, its not going to produce the 'star' flare you see in reception photos. And when comparing the MagBeam to the MagGrid, the former increases total light output, where the latter reduces output. The spread is about 3 stops. Thats shooting reception photos at 1/8 power now at 1/64 power. Or, you go from 10 feet from dance floor to 60 feet (which is rather large, but, using the inverse square law to your advantage, you get more even coverage across the area). It opens up a lot of new possibilities for receptions and dance floor lighting!
