I want to get my first softbox but I am finding out that they are pretty expensive. I already own 2 sets of shoot through umbrellas 30" and 48" where the bigger set has the detachable black covers. I have Alienbee monolights and they offer these with included speedring on their site:


24" x 36" $119.95


32" x 40" $129.95


30" x 60" $159.95


foldable softboxes, umbrella-like construction, 2 optional translucent internal diffusion panels included, front translucent white diffusion panel, 60 day satisfaction guarantee





My question is whats the best size to go with if I got one? My mind is telling me bigger the better since they are all pretty close in price? Does anyone know of a better deal or price for a quality softbox with a speedring?
