I also have a pair of B1s, but there are many occasions where I find the B2 to be the better choice. For impromptu shoots on location with no assistant, the B2 head is less top-heavy on a lightstand and I can get away with no sandbag. If I recruit an assistant, the lighter weight is less awkward and hence less likely to be dropped. And less expensive to replace if it is dropped! (I put the battery pack in a fanny pack for my assistant to carry around if we're roaming). I've also put the B2 head on a bracket and used it like a speedlight, or hand-held it and shot one-handed like a '40s photographer. The light quality is excellent; even a bare head provides a nicer light than a speedlight (though I'd be pressed to define just how). The build and quality is outstanding, and my particular B2 has been more reliable that my B1s, one of which has failed 3 times in a year. Though you can certainly put it in any Profoto light shaper, the Beauty Dish and the 1x3 softbox complement it nicely.
