The Pixapro is just a re-brand of the Godox, so has no advantgages or disadvantages.
But you may prefer to get the Godox AD200 instead https://www.lencarta.com/godox-witstro-ad200-ttl-hss-portable-compact-flashgun, or the Pixapro rebrand of that https://www.essentialphoto.co.uk/product/pixapro-pika200-portable-battery-powered-ttl-mini-flash/
Frankly, it's hard to see any real reason to get the 360, now that the AD-200 is available

The battery pack throws up some interesting options though, you can charge many different items from it, to get the same power you need 2 AD200s and the combining head but for the extra money 2 AD200s offers much better flexibility
And yes I have and use both options

In terms of power, the 360 does have an advantage but the AD-200 is more efficient, so the difference in delivered power is far less than you'd expect.

Not as far as I know. The profits on Godox equipment are tiny to start with, and Lencarta sells their stuff at the minimum price allowed by Godox, so I don't think there's any wriggle room - but I've lost touch since I retired, so it's got to be worth a phone call to see if they can do some kind of discount.

Yeah but... recycling time. With the Y cable an AD360 is almost instant recycling even at 1:1 which can be fairly important in some circumstances where you don't want to wait 2 seconds!

But even with the Y connector, full power recycling is still 2.25 seconds.Yeah but... recycling time. With the Y cable an AD360 is almost instant recycling even at 1:1 which can be fairly important in some circumstances where you don't want to wait 2 seconds!
