All looks good but FatHandedChap is selling his entire business off as he's relocating...
Might be some bargains to be had from him as it looks like he's selling off everything individually...
You could see what he's got and if you like it, he may deliver! From what I've read he's moving to Hereford area (Jeez I'm nosey!) so he might be able to drop in on you as he passes through??
I shouldn't really be making plans for other people! I don't know the guy at all! 
Short answer is no.
Long answer is also no unless you are on a tight budget.
I have the Elemental G series, which I think is probably the minimum anyone should go for. Reason not to go for the B series is that it does not accept bowen-fit accessories. Now if you are buying to try out studio photography then this may be ok as the price is "right". You may use these for background lights when you upgrade to something more powerful.
I have also tried the M-series, which are also very good. Slightly more powerful than the G-series, and does auto-discharge when turning down the power, otherwise functionally similar. Both have bowen-fit speed ring.
My 2p worth.

Thanks Adrian - I am on a budget but had already noted that the B series did not have the s-type fit and therefore would limit my choice of accessories as and when I wanted more.
I'll take another look around the Elemental site and see what can come within my budget. It's far too easy to just add another few quid here and there and before I know it I'll be well over what I planned to spend and won't be able to pay the bills!
Hi Al, I've had good use from a set of lights from China the kit comprised of 2 x 150w, 1 x 300w unit, stands, light box and umbrellas cost around £249 inc shipping a couple of years ago from Link Delight, a quick google will bring them up,
Good and very positive contact with them and the 300w is a cracking unit, be happy to show them to you if you wished.

Thanks Chris - I've decided that I must stop thinking about this until the weekend - there simply isn't enough time inbetween supposedly working to put serious thought into the matter.
I'll check out the people you suggest though and wrap my head around it all
Hey Jason - I was going to pop back and update this evening - the ones you suggested are precisely what got delivered today and are currently in the process of being unpacked - plus a snoot....
I need to clear out the studio a bit which will be started first thing Saturday (or sooner if I can get my act together in the evenings) and I'll be trying to figure out what I'm doing all weekend
Hi... good choice, you wont be disappointed, I have the LR55 Digital units and very pleased with them. The whole range is quality and great value.
Don't forget to turn off the modeling lamp when the snoot is attached as the heat generated in that small area will likely damage the bulb.
Have fun ;O)
Hope you have stocked up on plenty of food and supplies for the weekend
