Can any Photogs recommend a good ringflash?

My Alien Bees is at the end of its life, and I'll need a new ringflash soon. Not sure I want another one of these:
Paul C. Buff - AlienBees ABR800 Ringflash

Are there any other ringflashes out there?

That's a great price... the ringflash for my Profoto rig runs about three times that price.

That shit is plug in to the wall, not battery. Too bulky for my needs.

only problem with ringflash is there is no fan so unit can overheat easily. be mindfull of that when shooting rapid fire. :)

Which one's that? Do you carry around big battery to power it (I do this with the alien bees one) or do you plug into wall?

I've never shot battery powered strobes--never needed to. I use Profoto Acute 2 packs and heads, and yes, they plug into the wall.
