Where to go from here re:portable studio...

[mani]

I have a portable studio - two bowens - two speedlights, pop up background, cloth back ground, O-light flash, softboxes etc

I'm not heavy into this and do the odd shoot for make up artists mostly

I get great results from what i've got however i've got itchy fingers and i'm always wanting to move forward (or so i think i am)

So what next is my question. where do i go whilst keeping in mind what i mostly shoot

I'm thinking i buy some strip light boxes but would that give me a noticeable different result to what i can do with the soft boxes?

the other option is upgrading my bowens 300w to something more powerful

my final option and something i've been wanting to do is to buy the lastolite hilite

Are there any other suggestions anyone could put in?

light modifiers tbh, dont really see the point of getting more powerful lamps if you dont have grids or anything yet. what about a beauty dish?

the lasolite is nice and fun to play with if you like that pure white background then cool, but for me I quickly learnt the money was better spent elsewhere.

beauty dish was also on my radar as a deffo buy which will happen sooner. i was going to be buying one for this week but next week seems most likely.

i've got a two light set up so i was considering either two more lights or at least one

one other thing was an over head stand - how much do they go for?
