Hey man - thanks a lot!
Umbrellas are great light modifiers but they don't offer as much control over the lighting as I'd like to have. I used them for years when I started my quest to learn more about lighting many years ago and actually still have a few of them in my arsenal of gear but to be truthful - I haven't used them in years!
A lot of shooters here don't need or require the control that I like to have so using an umbrella would be fine for their needs. I would say use them and see how you like them. If you need more control go with a softbox or some other kind of modifier.
