I've used AlienBees throughout my photography career. I'm very happy with them. I can see benefits to using more expensive packs but honestly, for how much more it would cost the benefit isn't worth it. What benefits? Basically things like cycle time and color consistency. It's still very usable and most people won't know the difference. If I had tons of money and was rich I would go with something like ProPhoto or ElinChrome. But unless you are bring in 6 figures I would go with AlienBees. Another advantage is you can get a lot more of them and a lot more accessories.
