  ...and Chuck responded nicely.
   
  But may I suggest - 
   
  You want power? Check out the used market on the Metz hammerheads.
  I say used, because new, they also cost $380 +, but you can pick up a 
  used Metz 45 CL-1 for well under $100 (I snagged my last one for $25)
  and they have the power to match many studio lights - GN 295 w/ISO 400.
   
  For wedding and PJ types, good aftermarket (not Q) wet packs (1,000 shots 
  without recharging) are available at reasonable prices from that dude in 
Florida... 
  mine is 6-years-old and still works great - and I'm at least the third owner.
   
  Downside? Well, they don't work well (the older ones) with TTL, but how tough 
  is it to handle guide numbers? C'mon guys (and gals) - it's called 
photography.
