This for non-mission critical work. I have a set too and it's very good for what you pay for. I have misfires every once in awhile and it does irritate the crap out of me when the model give me the perfect look and lights don't fire.

I've been working with a lot of pocket wizards recently and have invested in a complete cybersync system by Paul C. Buff. I have yet to have a single misfire in the 2-3k pops from my lights.

I don't agree with this. I've hardly had a misfire and I've tried wizzies.

Unless you're cashing in 2k/month profit just on portraits, I don't think this is a wise investment. I'm not going to use a rifle to kill a roach.

I just like it for the cyber commander. Not having to lower lights on a boom just to make an adjustment = win.
