Personally, I love my Elinchrom ELB500. For a little more money, it has twice the power and faster recycle time as the Profoto. Though the specs say recycle is 3.5 seconds at full power, my observation was closer to 2. In the 4-5 months I’ve owned it, I’ve been very pleased. (I have a personal dislike for Profoto. I’ve never liked the flashes and I think they are overpriced. )
As for the AD200, I have a friend who swear by them (better than AT them) and a photo assistant who has bought a couple. For me, none of these have the kind of recycle time I want for shooting quickly. But, if I didn’t already have two Canon Speedlites, I might consider the AD200.
