alien bees vs photogenic powerlights

Alright, so I shoot mostly barrel races and other horse events and have been doing pretty good money wise at them. I bought a used alien bee b800 with a soft box at the begining of the year for a very good price. It has served me well and I have absolutely nothing wrong with it . I have also been thinking about getting some more. So I was looking on craigslist (always a problem) and I found some photogenic powerlights 1250 for 250 each. I think this is the model

I know that photogenic is the bomb for lighting. Am I better off selling my bee and going for the photogenic (and more power) or staying put with the bees.

Personally I would stick with a Buff product over any other unless that other product offered a whole lot more
Than the comparable Buff product could ever offer me........that Photogenic is used maybe abused and it is one craigslist,
I do not trust craigslist items or the sellers.....too much locally has been stolen goods........I would spend a bit more for Buff Lighting( Alien Bees, White Lightning, Zeus.....) but then I have been using Buff products for over 25 yrs........good luck.

Art,
Thanks for replying. I think you are right. Does the photogenic really give me that much more of a advantage then the bees, especially for what I do. Not really. I guess I just needed to hear if from some one else. As for craigslist, I use it all the time and I think the photogenics where being advertised by some sort of shop. To each his own.
