If you are basing it on Sean's shots you will be stoked on the Lumodi. I have a similar dish I built from the same specs as the Lumodi and I like it. It is just different light.

Thanks, I will have to look more into the 36" Photok Softlighter, right off I see it is cheaper than the Lumodi. I am in the extreme learning stages when it comes to this. As much as I do love all of Sean's work, I know I will never be that good no matter what I use. I just really enjoy experimenting with various lighting techniques.
