I would recommend the umbrellas. The umbrellas are compact, quick and easy to set up and provide soft beautiful illumination. 20" softboxes are not very big and the light will not be as soft as the umbrellas (IMO). If your shooting content, I'd recommend the umbrellas.Originally posted by szango420Comment

I'd definately go 1 umbrella and 1 softbox, both throw different light and both are needed at different times, often together- IMOComment

I have a 2000W studio light that I use in a big softbox for outdoor shoots sometimes... probably visible from space it's so brightComment
