Love the Simplicity of AA
Alkaline 1.5V AA cells are the universal power solution for virtually any locale, assuring dependable, uninterrupted flash photography. They are cheap yet full of energy, boasting up to 330 full power shots on a single set of AAs. While Lithium is a preferred energy source for some situations, the expense of replacement battery packs may deter the casual user. The battery modules are also dependent on recharging stations. AAs are readily available, deploy immediately, and can be carried with minimal concern for safety, storage space, and portability, particularly for aircraft travel.
The Zoom's next-generation auto zoom head delivers exceptionally even coverage, and any photographer will appreciate the high Guide Number of 197ft / 60m @ISO 100 (200mm). The simple layout and familiar controls make using this flash intuitive. The flashhead rotates 330-degrees and 120-degree tilt for any type of bounce or modifier use. The head zooms automatically or manually from 20-200mm, to ensure coverage without wasted light spill. The built-in pull-out wide-angle diffuser spreads light evenly to 14mm for use with lenses wider than 20mm.
R2 Rules the Air
The speedlight has an advanced and enhanced integrated R2 Radio Transceiver, the ingenious R2 TTL wireless communication system, controlling the widest variety of monolights and speedlights the photo industry offers. Flashpoi |

In any case, I don't believe flashes being powered by AA is much of a hassle as you make it sound. I have been using Eneloop AA batteries and keep extras in my bag. And if, for some reason, I don't have them on hand, it's very feasible to buy generic ones at a local 7/11 or something.
On the other hand, every time the batteries for my video LED ran out, I was completely screwed because the battery was internal.

Sure the lithium will give you faster recycle time and way more shots. Also then you are stuck with the lithium packs....their newest version I'm sure will be around for a while...but the older lithium pack version is being discontinued. A new Lithium pack will cost $125
The double AA version will be powered for decades to come and if your AA rechargeable die out...then you buy a new set for $8.
I have both versions of the flash...you can't beat this price point.
If you aren't shooting something heavy flash with need of shaving a second off of your recycle time like a wedding photographer might need..then the AA version is a great intro into the system
