I thought I had a good line on some used 400 BX', but turns out it was a dead end.

Right now, I have one little Opus M100 that I'm wanting to replace, and get my own little basement studio setup...

Since I can't buy the whole complete setup at once (at least as of this moment), I'm looking at purchasing a new 400BX, a large softbox and a black stand for it. I'll be keeping my little Opus until I can get a second 400BX (prolly keep it anyway).

I'll likely be buying from Vistek:

Thoughts an a mid-range softbox???

Would like to keep the bill <$1000

Thanks for your time and assistance!

As far as modifiers, I'd start with one of these (I have both):
