        The problem is once you add in shipping to Canada the price goes up. 
OTOH I 
can get the Speedotrons locally. Or if I can't find an item I can add it to a 
B&H order. I'd still have to pay shipping with B&H but it would be spread out 
on more items. I also like the idea that a local shop exists that can supply 
me just in case.

        The monolights go down to 32 watts I guess. Five stops?

        I'm planning on using my metz flashes in addition to the one light I'm 
going 
to buy. I just want a main light that has a modelling light and enough power.
