CP now having promo sales of Elinchromes. 2 head complete outfit I think is just <1.2k BUT I think that's not batt operated location units.

I've got no experience with Jinbei, so can't comment. Only used Balcar Okay and Elinchromes before, but for your light usage, Jinbei should be ok mah. BP, any ideal about the Multiblitz or Alien Bees?

I think you have to pay a lot more for portability.

Err ok... but where did Profoto come into the pix?

Anyways, I hardly hear of ABs giving problems on the foreign site, but I haven't done a dedicated search for specifics yet...
