Note that running a sync cord from the housing to strobes and plugging the internal connector into the camera's hot shoe will only allow you to use manual operation with whatever strobes you pick. If you want TTL, you will need the appropriate converter even if you stick with sync cords.

Wow, this is really surprising. I thought I'd get TTL using the hot shoe-sync cord-strobe... This really makes trying to plan this system a pain in the backside. Apologies for the questions but why wouldn't TTL work with the sync cord connected to the strobe?
