Here are some things that I have learned over the years. Pros:The light output is consistent. Which is one of the things that brought me to these lights. **Lights are more versatile that initially led to believe. ^^Lots of adapters on the market so you're not locked into some pricey components. Cons: Accessories I generally have to buy online. Not too many places carrying strobe stuff (at least where I'm at).Elinchrom stuff can be expensive.**Elinchrom uses an odd umbrella shaft size. Transmitter can be a bear to fit on the top of the camera. **Using an umbrella to kick out the light and disperse it initially looked to be very expensive. Elinchrom uses a slightly smaller non-standard shaft size. I stumbled upon it one day watching a Youtube video where it mentioned that integrated into the base, below the light, is a universal umbrella shaft slot. Low and behold, it was there. No where else did I ever find that info. ^^Elinchrom attachments (softboxes etc.) are pricey. I purchase other brands of attachments and use adapters to make it fit. Big cost savings. In regards to the constant lights, which I have considered. I have recently been swayed back away from them due to studies on (I forget the scientific name) pupil dilation in photography. The point of it was that wider pupils are viewed as more attractive, intimate, and welcoming - particularly in women. This would not be possible with constant light.  If you would like to read a bit on it: <a href="https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/learning-the-look-of-love-in-your-eyes-the-light-the-heat/" target="_blank">https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/learning-the-look-of-love-in-your-eyes-the-light-the-heat/</a>The bottom line, yes, I would buy them again and I hope this helps.</blockquote>
