Any thoughts on this setup? seems like a good deal for ~$230. Comes with:

2 - 12 inch Reflectors
1 - 5 inch Reflector
3 - Socket & Cordsets with Stand Mounts
2 - UM-4 Umbrella Mounts
2 - 32 inch White Umbrellas
2 - ECT 500-Watt Photoflood Lamps/bulbs (tungsten; 120 volts; 3200ºk; 13650 lumens)
1 - ECA 250-Watt Photoflood Lamp/bulb (tungsten; 120 volts; 3200ºk; 6500 lumens)
3 - Raven 8 foot Aluminum Stands
1 - MB-110 mini-boom
1 - Light Cart on Wheels
1 - Imaging with Light Guide

Do you have something else you'd recommend in a similar price range?

If you'd go more expensive, can you explain why?

Thanks in advance!

It will be ok, I have similar lights but strobes are much nicer to work with for the subjects, gets really hot under the hot ones. Only nice thing is in the winter my studio is cold, so they are nice. I have lots of hot lights and getting alot of strobes, gets $$$$$$$$, but fun. For the hot lights, I have 4-12" reflectors with diffuser covers, a par 38 for a hair light, and 2-8" reflectors, all on stands. For strobes, I have 3-SP920's, 1-SP100, 2-Britek 66, stands, 38"umbrellas in white, silver and gold. Backdrops were fun as well, have 7 different ones. For outdoors, I have 5in1 reflectors, 1-42", 2-30", and 1-20" and lite disc holders as well. The outdoor shots are by far the most fun with the reflectors. I have way more stuff than this as well, but that is the fun of it.
