I'm going to buy one of these 120 d lights, is the II version worth it?  I'm noticing some price drops on the original 120d.  

Would you go with the 120 d or the 120 d II?

One of the best lights on the market IMO. 

You might want to wait till next month with Black Friday and Cyber Monday.   Just saying.  I have one of these lights and as much as I want another right now, I'm waiting till next month to grab another.

I'm going to wait till after the holidays to move from the 120d to the 120d II.   The 120d is working just well for me, but the added power from the 120d II will be nice.  Are you doing in studio or out?

You can use batteries with these right?  How long will you be able to use one of these in the field?
