I have 3 1600w monolights, a 2x3 and 1x6 soft box, an umbrella, and a small dish. I would like to be able to shoot a full length portrait. Will I be able to do that with a 3x4 or will I need the largest model? Has anyone used Impact soft boxes? I currently have Photoflex soft boxes.

Thanks in advance.

Actually, you might get some interesting results using the 1x6 strip box without a grid as your main light and the umbrella for fill. The 3x4 is probably going to have some falloff with a taller subject. It would work OK with my 10-year-old son!
