The question of whether they're "pro-grade" boils down to two things.
The other thing to consider is modifiers. You basically have to buy all your modifiers from AB. .
That is completely FALSE.
I don't have one modifier from AB. I have four AB 800s and here are my modifiers: 50x50 Westcott Apollo softbox, 28x28 Westcott Apollo softbox, 4x6 Larson softbox, a simple softliter, and a 2x4 Photek? softbox. Here they are - set up www.jottephotography.com/studio.htm all on ABs.
Why would you have to buy your modifiers only from AB?
Don't get me wrong, eventually I WILL buy different lights but the ones I have will not break - I won't replace until they break...
.... and I am a (now nationally published) pro, not a semi-pro, so you can check my website to see my results.
