Spend my $800!

Ok maybe not spend it on you but me haha, big thanks to uncle same for giving me back my money so I can boost the economy. (no one burst my bubble, it makes me feel good to think me spending money on photography help others damnit)

So the plan is to spend some cash on bumping my studio supplys up, so far I have one AB800, 60" unbrella, light stand, wireless flash kit from AB, back drop supplys, and a AB 5-1 reflecter. So I have about $800 to spend, so I put a list of things I thought I could get with $800 from AB so please pick and paste as see fit. thanks much

do you have a second light stand? you'll need two. one for the light, one for the reflector. but i only see one. other than that, i'd get an octobox. i love mine.

this one is slightly more $$$

i'd stick with the b800s. better to have too much power, than too little.

ok so your vote is plan A with an extra stand, and switch out the med soft box for a octabox....

yes. yes it is.
