Elinchrom vs Bowens

[shmuel]

Dear professionals, can you say me which of these compact flashes is better and reliable for studio (portrait, subjects, etc):

1. Elinchrom BRX 500 - ELINCHROM - PDF Viewer
2. Bowens Gemini 500 Pro - http://www.bowensdirect.com/index.php/downloads/dl/file/id/16/gemini_r_and_pro_user_guide.pdf
   

And what about Multiblitz Profilux 500 (http://multiblitzusa.com/template/downloads/manuals/ProfiluxPlusQuickGuideEN.pdf) and Multiblitz Profilux Plus 400 (http://multiblitzusa.com/template/downloads/manuals/ProfiluxQuickstartGuideEN.pdf)


P.S. my camera - NikonD300s, my studio - 30m[SUP]2[/SUP]

The Bowens and Elinchrom are very closely matched in terms of quality and features. I would suggest basing the decision on cost, and cost & availability of spares & modifiers.

Elinchrom and Bowens.

Back the truck up for the spam.

Both as good as each other but you can get more light modifers and cheaper for Bowens
