Paul,
Given our history, I can see now how you could take what I said as a backhanded compliment. But I was sincere in my compliments and I think up until this most recent tiff, your advice on this thread has been both patient and helpful.
My brother-in-law is an accountant by day and photographer by weekend. I trained him to use strobes and he now works prolifically doing little league, prom and high school photos. He loves the work with a passion and when I told him about this latest offering from your company, he got very excited and expressed an interest in purchasing your product. And when I thought about it, it made perfect sense that this would be an excellent fit for photographers like him. Thus, my comment.
While I still don't think commercial photographers will find much use for this product, it's not intended as a slight. I'm not only a busy photographer, but I'm a partner at a creative agency where I typically oversee about 2-3 shoots per month with amazing photographers. I'd say over 90% of commercial shoots are shot with packs - those of which are typically Profoto, Dynalite and Broncolor.
Using packs, one rarely is concerned about too little output. It's often the other way around and I see assistants working very cleverly to shape and reduce light. In watching the video by John RIcard, he was getting readings of f22 at a mere 500ws. For me, I shoot in a range of f8-11, so you can see how this would present some issues in usage.
I happen to own the older Hensel Integra monolights. I love using them, but they rarely see daylight, which is not a reflection on their quality, they're just not practical for commercial photography, nor were they designed for such purposes. I doubt that Hensel takes offense.
And no offense to the many testers who've been doing their best to post results, but I haven't seen any usage that would reflect the benefits of this modifier for my own personal use or my colleagues. So back to chatting about your product and stop taking things so personal. It always ends badly here when you do.
Cheers!

Did this thing blow up like the "shipping" thread. Well... I tried.
