The one good thing about the Cacti is that they can handle the sync voltage of even the really old 200-300v trigger voltage flashes.

I think even the V2s (designed to improve performance with LV flashes) can work with high voltage ones. The original Cactus V2 (not V2s) can definately handle 35v. Fairly certain the V2s can handle 35v also.
