It sounds like a scam, but it was a mistake, when I knew what to look for and went back and compared, the ez-pro 32x48 alienbee and white lightning softboxes were the same price $70). I had asked them online what the difference was between a couple units , and they just said one was for my light. Their online service through Amazon is damn near useless. I explained what I was looking for, and they'd answer part of my question, and I'd try to ask something else, and they'd ask another minor portion. I'll say I want a big softbox with an eggcrate that works with my white lightning, and mention a couple things that I saw but they won't just say "You want to buy this unit, it will cost you that much". It's like they don't speak (much English) and just answer what ever portion is easiest for them to translate. Either that, or they are trying to drive business away. > Did the speedring spec change > when the newer models came out? Maybe the ABxxx series are actually > different in some small way?
