Westcott Ice Light

I'm looking at one of these and putting some serious thought into picking one up.  It's a little pricey, so would like to get some feedback from others.  What do you think of this light?  Have you, or would you spend the bucks on it?

Try renting one to be sure before you shell out for it:

Good suggestion from Gary.  I can see an application for striplights for copywork, but otherwise this seems like a pretty specialized light to me.

At first I had mixed feelings about them.  They seem to have strong reviews, but the price for what it is, is, well out there.  I got mine used on Craigslist for $250.  I love it.
