The Sekonic 358 is the meter I use and it has two flash modes. One that will fire the strobes and another that sees when the strobe fires. You don't need to buy the PW module and you don't need PWs. Why pay all that money for such an esoteric remote system when the cheaper one works very well. Unless you're shooting outside a lot, I'd save the $$ and get the bargain wireless system.

With the bargain eBay remotes that I found, there is a button on the top of the transmitter which is used to trip the strobes, from which the Sekonic can then see and meter the light output.

Works like a charm.
