Aftermarket softbox for elinchrom

[Tlee05]

Okay okay so another question :D

I was looking at some aftermarket softboxes but im not sure if its a good idea? Is it wise to cut corners.. or should I save up a few extra pennys?
Would I notice a big difference using a aftermarket softbox instead of a elinchrom one?
The aftermarket companys im looking at are studioblitz, Walimex and one is just unbranded on ebay.

You may want to check out the new line of softboxes, etc. from CreativeLighting. It is apparently a Swedish operation. They look very good. B & H has them.

The CL website http://www.creativelight.com has some good flash videos of them in use.

They have speed rings for the Elinchrom but I am not sure about the diameter of the umbrellas shaft size...7mm being required for Elinchrom.

Creative light is part of Profoto so it is some good stuff.

Bowens makes some decient softboxes. And they use the "s type" mount that Elenchrome uses.
