anything else im missing?

I used to shlep 2 1200 w/s studio flashes around but its too cumbersome and tiring to find electric outlets all the time. but ive been having this idea to go with speedlights (gelled though for ambient pics) instead. I still have 2 SB28's and thought about getting 2 more (not sure which but basically strong recycle times and strong GN and dont care if its manual only) I was thinking to weld some mounts that will basically hook on the dj's lighting trusses that usually setup in a square/rectangular format around the the dance floor.
to give an idea see this pic. I could mount them overhead. PARTY TIME! | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
for the ceremony, I can use those simple foot stands. but I want to try and get away from the heavy flashes (that people knocked down and broke) with the cords and the flash stands. its too tiring and not flexible.

looking for HS slaves (TTL not necessary) that I can use outdoors as well. well see. still shopping.
