I don't have any technical experience with the Alien Bees but I do know through experience that changing your shutterspeed from 125 to 200 will have an effect. I did it yesterday. I use Bowens/Calumet strobes and they're not known for their short flash duration. Maybe it's just my strobes - but I would encourage everyone to just try it. Shoot your camera bag and see what happens.
