It's worth mentioning that the new R2Pro remote is a huge improvement over the previous R2; now you can lock in your TTL value similar to my previous Profoto TTL-N. I've been using the system for over 2 years now and I haven't had a single issue. HSS is great and TTL is accurate although I am mostly using it in manual now. I got the AC adaptor for studio use, but I haven't used it yet cause the battery hasn't died on me yet.
The thing that made me switch from Profoto (obviously other than price), is that they work great with the Li-Ion Flashpoint speedlights. Often in events I only need one strobe and 2-3 speedlights, and they all work seamlessly together even in TTL with no wires, receivers, etc... Profoto came out with the A1 but 3-4 speedlights will cost me $4000; just plain ridiculous, and with back ups, remotes and B1's that's almost $10000.
The main negative thing is weight, but that's a given with battery-powered strobes, and I use it with the bulb extension sometimes when weight is an issue. The handle is flimsy and the angle adjustment is way better built and more accurate on the Profoto B1. Finally, I am generally not a huge fan of the Bowens mount but it's very common and better priced.
