Before you go and blow a lot of money on strobes...Hit up ebay and look for some cheap ones that you can play with then decide if strobes are the right move for your needs.
If you are shooting higher end studio stuff then IMHO, you need the strobes...But if this is for amateur style stuff then the hot lights should be fine once you get them dialed in with your camera. As for the color tempature and all that...Go to a photo store and buy some gells to clip over the softboxes.

Good to know, thanks! What size boxes do you have on your Starlites? Mine are the XS 16"x12", It would cost me nearly $600.00 to upgrade from XS to Med. and up watt the bulbs from 500 to 1000 watts each. Then they say I should upgrade stands, that is what pissed me off and made me consider strobes.....
