I do believe the people who tout Mola superiority, but I settled on the Profoto (white) BD for its factory-installed mount. The opal glass diffuser is a must IMO: donut catchlights are nicely suppressed with no other side-effect. As for price, well, think of it as a family welcome, Profoto style. The bloodletting has just begun...
I stand corrected about the opal centers. I will give it some more thought! Also, wow the demi is cheap!
Can anyone comment on whether anything special aside from a profoto speeding is necessary to mount the mola?
Good lord the grids for the mola are expensive! It seems light tools are the only ones who make a grid for it, and they go from 300 to over 425, that hurts!

yes the cloth grids are pricey...an alternative would be the speedo honeycomb grid which fits the demi perfectly, is 35 degrees and retails for somewhere around $150.
