Also interested in this, maybe throw in those ebay 24x24 cheapies into the mix too if the OP doesn't mind :)

I have both but haven't done any side by side comparison.

Photoflex extra-small is quite small. eBay knock off comes with everything you need and you don't need umbrella adapter. Both have only single diffusion panel.

I can add that the LastoLite Ezybox has an inner baffle and an outer diffusion panel.

Is there a reason you're limiting yourself to very small softboxes. Even taking a step up to a Photoflex 24" x 32" is a nice jump. The box gives you a long side that can be used vertically or horizontally for feathering and more control over falloff and wrap. Also, the 24" x 32" comes with an internal diffuser for more even lighting from center to edge. You can also get that softbox with either a white or silver interior and it can be used with the same photoflex bracket and speedring designed for a hot shoe flash and the 16" x 22" box.

I highly recommend the 24" x 32" over a 16" x 22" or a 24" square box with a single layer of diffusion.

Regarding the Lastolite box. It's nice, it does have the inner baffle, but costs a lot more than the Photoflex 24" x 32". Lastolite EZYbox's are very nice but costly.
