Answered: Can Profoto A1 replace Nikon SB-900?
I have a pair of Nikon SB-900 speedlights. Some time has elapsed since the Profoto A1 was released.
If you have used both, do you feel that the Profoto A1 is sufficient to replace the SB-900 (or SB-5000) in the workflow?
EDIT: In reviewing Neil's A1 review when the device came out, it seems to me the A1 is usable as a SB-900 replacement.

Thanks for the link to the video comparing the Profoto A1 and Godox V1. That was certainly an interesting review of the two. I will certainly have to put the Godox V1 (and the Flashpoint rebrand at Adorama) on my list.
The A1s ability to serve as a wireless, non-infrared transmitter is a big reason I'm interested. I'm tired of using PocketWizards to attach to my SB-900s. It's just too much equipment.
The Godox V1 works fine for my needs. The white balance seems more blue than the standard flash color temperature, so I adjusted the custom temperature setting of my camera to compensate.
