I'm looking to get a couple of softboxes. I have umbrellas and need

I'm a big fan of Photoflex. Durable, easy to set up, and completely
neutral. I have a Westcott box that adds a pink tint to the light,
which is OK if you want that all the time, but I prefer neutral. I
tested the ones AlienBees sell and they work fine but are a PITA to set
up. If you plan to set up once and leave them, they might be OK, but
if you plan to set up and take down a lot, they would drive me nuts.
The nicest softboxes I have ever used are the Plume Wafers, but they're
pricey.
Oops, looks like you answered the question I just asked you in a
separate part of the thread. Thanks.
