Ive been eyeing the Godox AD200 to be sure, along with the Flashpoint eVOLV Twin Head - Bowens Mount (AD-B2), but the cost of these along with the mount is 717, plus tax and the Flashpoint XPLOR 600 HSS TTL Battery-Powered Monolight for Canon (Bowens Mount) is 749, and I'm thinking a much better system, for field and or studio, along with my speedlights I have this would be more than suitable, its tough so may options available now one really needs to decide what direction there going etc.. appreciate your input and your valued advice... Michael.
As previously mentioned, why not get a Godox AD200 (Flashpoint eVOLV 200), you could trigger it with a YN-622. You would still need to controller the power at the flash with that setup though. Or you could add a X1T-C trigger, two (TT685/TT860II or others mentioned by ShotByTom) speedlights and you whole system would be converted and work together seamlessly. Add a X1R-C or three and you could trigger the old YN flashes and the AB.
I just switched my setup to Godox from Yongnuo.
I have a Canon 5D3, YN-622 trigger and transceivers, YN-685s and a couple of Canon 580exii. I tried to use the YN system on my new Fuji setup in legacy one pin fire mode and it would lock-up the 685 flashes. I bought a YN-622 trigger and two YN-685's for my son, also a Fuji shooter and he had better results (newer 685 versions) but can't turn off a channel while shooting = annoying.
(Update) after soaking him all this new information from the members here that I posted I've carefully given it some thought and have purchased a model light that I think that will provide what I need in both field and studio, the ((Interfit Photographic S1 500Ws AC & Battery-Powered HSS TTL Monolight)).

My YN gear served me well in the studio doing product and model shots. I tried to use them for something other than their intended purpose which is shoot with a different brand.
A week ago I got my Godox stuff for Canon, a trigger, two receivers for under my 580exiis and I picked up the 200watt AD200. I anxiously await triggers and a TT350 and 2xTT685 speedlights for Fuji. So far, I am very happy with the system.
Godox preserves my investment, is cheap and is inter-operable between brands.
