Which flash umbrellas?

[Davyboy]

I'm going to get a couple of umbrellas for inside work such as family portraits etc. Would it be a waste of money to get budget ones or would they be adequate as I would only be using them now and again? I know in life you usually get what you pay for, but sometimes the word overkill comes to mind.

You can get cheap shoot-throughs for around £6 or so, but a couple of decent convertible ones, which can be used either as shoot-through or reflective, would be your best bet at around twice that as they tend to be of better quality at that end of the market.
