Canon st-e3-rt knockoff

The new Yongnuo st-e3-rt compatible with the Canon 600EX-RT flash system and has some extra features as well.
Here is some official technical info about this product :

The main feature for me it’s AF focus assist, I was really surprised by Canon when their original Canon st-e3-rt came out without it especially when the previous model (Canon st-e2) had it.
And of course how did Yongnue team achieve it, and if the AF beam light really as useful as on new Canon EX 600 RT flash system and works with all AF points of Canon latest 1DX or 5d mark III AF system.
Time will tell. I just order it from some of here for $155.99 US
I’ll do my full review when I’ll receive it .
Cheers
George.
