Great quality light for portraits. That is what Profoto is known for.
Yes, but that\'s more a result of good marketing than fact.
I have Pro 6 packs with Pro 7 heads in the studio, compact 300s and 600s and D1 Air 500s for the road.
I also have Comet heads with the same white glass dome covering the tube and they create a nice diffuse light, as identical to PF as you can get. Comet isn\'t supported well in the U.S. but the current Dynalite heads are essentially comet heads since they\'re the same company.
Having said that, the D1 500s are pretty sweet and leave little to desire.
For architectural shooting I love the air remote. With a light up 12 feet on a stand I can just dial it in with the remote. At the same time I like the older style compacts in a Chimera lantern because the globe covered flash tube gives a more uniform light distribution.
Other than with very wide modifiers I don\'t think you\'ll see a difference with the D1 built in reflector. What\'s nice is when you pop a Zoom reflector on a D1 you gain a full stop.
