Do Pentax users prefer flash or LEDs?

LED lights are fine for video and macro work but quite limiting for other settings. Speedlights are stronger than most LED light and studio strobes are even more powerful and give a lot of options—but studio strobes are big and heavy. I used to use Cactus V6II sender/receivers +remote AF-540s+umbrella/diffusers for taking pictures of a playing child.. but eventually got sick of the AF performance on Pentax. Recharge time on AF-540s were also disappointing. Now, I use Godox Xpro+remote flashes+umbrella/diffusers on my Sony.
