I have the 8" bounce/snoot from Honl. I liked it because it's quite inexpensive. However it's tricky to use as a bounce; it doesn't hold its shape, or at least the shape I'm trying to give it. It works great as a snoot, but then so does some rolled-up black construction paper.
Were I to consider another one, I'd look at that Rogue Flashbender thing. Promises to hold the shape you give it due to internal wires.
