As yet another new strobe on the market, I am intrigued by the Sea and Sea YSD130R strobe. I haven't seen it mentioned but overall specs seem nice:

-Circular Flash Tube

-5600k (so a little cooler than Retra but warmer than many)

-Works with a Li-Ion battery or AAs.

-Not cheap but not insane either at 1k USD

I've seen two reviews - One in UWP (with a link from the Sea and Sea website)

and a little from Blue Water Photo, but as far as I can tell it is just some images.

If anyone has some hands on experience, it would be great to see how it compares in beam evenness and impressions of the strobe beam quality.
