At close range with a big reflector, the modelling light of an AcuteB can almost tell you what's going on. It does serve to contract the pupils. Otherwise, I like the AcuteB in the studio for its low weight, and when I need two packs deployed.

I can only speak from experience but I am very happy with "5".
Yeah, I know
I probably would be too... But I really like the look of Profoto's (gridded) reflectors (BD, new zoom and Magnum)... I wonder if there are Elinchrom equivalents available

Whatever you do, I would go with the one brand for everything. It will just make things simple as far as buying and using accessories.

Yeah, that would make the most sense... There are other things to consider as well... color and power consistency "issues" between brands for example.
Too bad Profoto's monolights are not the best out there. But I heard from the Dutch importer Profoto is going to bring out newly designed monolights coming year. As well as the Pro-7b and Pro-B2 replacements...
Of course I could get me a Ranger + RX and be done with it... Too bad that Profoto modifiers don't fit on Elinchrom heads...
There are recommended 100w modelling bulbs for the Ranger. I wonder if there are stronger ones available that would fit? I'm sure there'd be days I'd happily swap 20% battery capacity for intermittent use of a 150w bulb.
