What strobe light would you reccomend for outdoor shooting?

OP.. I would suggest that you buy and read this first. Light: Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting / Edition 3 by Fil Hunter | 9780240808192 | Paperback | Barnes & Noble
Once you have a basic understanding of lighting you can make an informed decision as to whether you want to go with OCF strobes, monolights, or pack lights. All have their advantages and disadvantages. All depends on what YOUR needs are.

I bought an Einstein 640 and Vagabond Mini recently for outdoor shooting, but if you don't want to go that route, these might be a good middle ground between strobes and flashes.

Amazon.com: NEEWER AD-360 360W External Portable Flash Light Speedlite with PB960 Lithium Battery Pack for Canon 580EX II, 580EX, 550EX, Nikon SB-900 SB-800 SB-80DX SB-28DX SB-28 SB-27, Sony HVL-F58AM HVL-F43AM, Metz Flash: Camera & Photo[/QUOT

How many full power shots do you get wit that battery pack?
