I never even heard about it before....really cool that it has built in tx/rx. Looks like you just need one TX if you get a whole set of this, and if it cost $300 I might replace both flash with this.I don't shoot wedding so I can't comment on that, I did shoot a studio session recently with the flash shooting through umbrella with @ 1/4 power for the whole day.Keep in mind I didn't shoot machine gun style and I had the thermal protection on at all time and the flash didn't overheat at all.I did try to overheat the flash when I first got it by mashing the test button at 1/4 power and it had no problem. I didn't bother at 1/1 power since the result would be obvious.I have no right to complain about the SB-900 limitations though since I bought it for a mere $200 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
