Nice results. How would you compare the strobe power to other popular strobes?

How is the recycle time?

With superchargers, at full power, the Retra Pro recycles in about 1.5-2s. At half power, it can do 3fps for basically as long as you want it to. As far as power goes, I've only really been using full power with the LSD, so it's got plenty of power to spare, although, to be fair, I've been shooting mostly macro in the past two months, and I have reflectors mounted most of the time, which double the power at the expense of beam width. I'm heading to Richelieu Rock next week though, which should give me a lot more wide-angle opportunities - I'll see how it does then.
