Well, after a lot of research and contemplation (and waiting for my tax refund to hit my account), I just ordered the Beginner Bee package from Alienbees. I also ordered an Impact lightstand and Sekonic L-308S from B&H.

I'm looking forward to seeing how much I can do with the single light/reflector approach. If I can impress the wife enough, I think she'll be more than happy to let me add more down the road! :)

I have already ordered these books a week ago.
Tim, how long did it take to get them? I am just a bit impatient ... :)
