Flash Head Wish List

First off, this is not an official Elinchrom Future Feature request list.
However, as you may know, we do have a pretty close relationship with the folks at Elinchrom and we'd love to know what you'd like in a flash head, be it studio or location. Maybe there's a feature in another unit that you'd like to see added to the Ranger Quadra, or maybe you've seen a reflector that you think should be available from Elinchrom.
