Idealy, if you could tripod mount both, same settings, same light output, same post processing.. with a person standing still against a wall, that would give the best comparison I think. I'm having seen the RayFlash in person, not the Orbis yet. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around spending an extra $100 for the RayFlash right now with the only benefit I can see is that it mounts to my flash and I don't have to hand hold it. Having shot with the Alien Bees ringflash, I'll be the first to tell you that a 5d with grip and 24-70 f/2.8L attached to it all starts to really suck after about 20-30 minutes of shooting, weighing several many pounds. Along with the fact that I'd have to spend another $450 for a bucket o' batteries to go on location with it, either one of these starts to look really appealing.
