I managed to get a good deal on Godox AD200 with a bit of extras (ebay 15% special - better than TPS) and I've got my 3X Canon RT and compatible flashes controlled by Yongnuo ST-E3 RT. The Canon / YN system worked perfectly so far and I just wanted one stronger flash or maybe just a new toy.
I don't really have a proper trigger for the 200. Only option now is S2 optical if used indoors. This leaves proper functionality on the Canons.
I ordered by mistake Godox X1R-C. I realised it is nearly useless as soon as I saw it. I am not buying another 2 and I'm not making my Speedlites look like from 2000 with all the downsides, namely size and cost. The only chance would be making it work with ST-E3 somehow??? Or should I try to return / exchange for something else??
Another option is of course to offload all Canon / YN kit and just buy another 2X or 3X AD200 and at some point 400 or 600. It almost makes sense, except the head can't tilt up and it just won't bounce off the ceiling corners without some extra support when doing real estate work, etc (no time or space for light stands)
So what is my best to build a reasonable system please?
