1D X NOT compatible with Pocket Wizard!

[Loswr]

I actually prefer the 1Dx-version over the TTL-capable default - power tracking for manually controlled speedlights is more helpful then the TTL-inherent randomness if one works with changing apertures.

Agreed.

I'm onto the next dilemma. I've just sold my pair of 430's and picked up a second 600EX and an ST-E3-RT. I have two 24" Ezyboxes for Speedlites and a 48" octabox for the Einstein).

So...a Lastolite 48x12" and maybe a 3rd 600, or a PCB strip box with a second Einstein and PowerMC2?

Why not just plug the transmitter into the pc plug for the moment?
Do you lose any features?

The Canon 1D X will work in the ControlTL® system with some important operational considerations:
• Manual power control only – No TTL. TTL is not currently available when using the 1D X with a MiniTT1 or FlexTT5. See additional information on the next page.
• Manual power control operates normally, which includes the following functions:
• Manual power control for X-sync
• Manual power control for HSS
• HyperSync®
• Rear Curtain Sync
• AC3 ZoneController with the zone set to “M” for Manual
• Manual power control of compatible flashes like Einstein E640, AlienBees, White Lightning, and select Elinchrom flashes
• Improved HyperSync performance. New HyperSync enhancements allow for the 1D X to perform well when shooting with studio flash above X-sync.
• PowerTracking with the Canon 1D X works with “Full Manual” and the new
“Full Manual + FEC” setting. Other PowerTracking settings are not available
at this time.

You can always use the good ol' fashion sync cord that comes with your flashes... But yeah, these cameras have nearly been out a good year and we are still twiddling our thumbs for PW to show up to the game... At least with my 5d3 and PW3, i can get good results at 1/160.
