A nikon sb900 firing at full power is equal to what Alien Bee strobe? Or in between which ones? I'm just trying to get a mental picture of the power/amount of light it can put out.

I had that information at one time. I think it was just shy of an AB-400 if my mind serves me correctly. I might still have that information linked on my home computer. I will check this evening. -G

I was under the impression that SB-800 was somewhere between an AB400 and an AB800... Can't remember where I saw this though. Some blog on the internets...

I think the only main differences are:
1)SB900 focusing vs Alien Bee spread
2)SB900 portability vs Alien Bee
