I know this doesn't answer your question, but why do you want to use strobes over monolights?
Is that supposed to be a trick question?
LOL. Not at all. I'm just curious about why many people choose to purchase power pack strobes over self-contained monolights? Strobes/power packs are very expensive and if your power pack goes out - your strobes don't work. If your monolight goes out - you just replace it with another monolight.
Ten years ago photographers would buy strobes over monolights because of recycle time, flash duration, color temp consistency, and a few other things. But now monolights do nearly all those things as well as strobes for a fraction of the cost. I will say monolights still don't have the recycle time of strobes.
Just asking what your motivation is in buying strobes over monolights?
