5D3 + 135L testing my new Profoto B1's

How are you liking the B1's? I'm thinking about getting a set of B2's

I rented some for an out of state shoot and fell in love with them. I own Elinchrom Rangers 1000ws and Quadra's 400ws too but just added 2 B1's. Battery life is ok, 500ws, ETTL (I never shoot ETTL though) and a decent trigger... overall I like them very much but prefer the mods from Elinchrom. So depending on where I go... like on serious location work I still use the Quadra's due to the weight and familiarity. The B1's and Rangers are for closer to home or parking lot locations. It all depends on what you're after... honestly at around 400ws you can do almost anything you need so really depends on the weight you're willing to haul and the logistics of setup. Can't go wrong with any of them though, beautiful light from both makers. I haven't used the B2's though and they seem to be very much like the Quadra's except only 250ws... that might give you a hard time when trying to overpowering the sun. The Quadra's easily do that for me at 400ws but no ETTL.

Love to hear how they work for you though... not that I need new lights but interesting to see how they handle the field.
