Strobist is running a two part series comparing the Ray Flash v. Orbis v. AB 800 Ring Flash
You can find that series here.
I think there are a couple of important points to draw out:
1) Quality of Light is subjective;
2) The Ray Flash and Orbis are used on a speedlight, but can be mixed with studio strobes on or off camera. I’ve tested the Ray flash with my Canon 580EX II with excellent results;
3) They are great for both fill and key light applications.
These images were test shots mixing my Ray Flash and 580EX II on-camera with AB 400/800 strobes. I’m very pleased with results and the Ray Flash is a lot of bang for the buck.

Alec,
From the images I can guess that there is a strobe hitting the background where is the second, camera left?
Thanks,
Travis
Hey T,
This is a 5 light setup. One background, two rims, a hair light and the ray flash from straight on. I’m posting a tutorial shortly describing all this.
