Today I purchased a Elinchrom D-Lite RX 2 to go set, or at least I thought I did:
The seller was located in another city, and my girlfriend was going there to look at a car she wanted to buy (and did buy actually), so I asked her to pick the kit up as well. She headed over to the seller, and everything seemed fine. When she got home, she sent me a picture of one of the lashes, and it turned out to be the Elinchrom D-Lite it 2.
I emailed the seller, and he agreed to take the whole kit back or reduce the price (no word on how much yet).
Now I'm asking, is this kit worth keeping at all? AFAIK, the greatest difference is the build quality, it being crappier, and the it not being able to adjust power with the remote trigger (which sounds very handy).
I've never worked with studio flashes before, so I don't know how much the extras matter.
I'm not photographing professionally, nor do I have a studio, so currently there isn't much running involved to adjust power.
I was planning on using these with my large format cameras, my Leica M3 and my Sony a7 if that matters.
What do you guys think? It's a three hour trip there and back with the train to return them, or a ~$80 postage.
