Igor, Thanks for the feedback.
I've had a lot of success framing tighter than one would normally expect to, in large part because I usually use a prime and don't always get to choose my distance to the extent that I'd like. You bring up the good point that I should also work with a bit looser of framing. One thing that using the big strobe let me do was use my 18-250. There was enough light that I could stop it down enough that it was reasonably sharp, so I could have framed them a bit looser. In retrospect, I should have used the fluidr link which has exif data: http://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157629493693342/ My big concern was the lighting. It was quite challenging getting it right, with a lot more bright reflections than I like. Looking at the exif data you can see which ones I used the light as a strobe and which ones I just used the modeling light as a hot light.
