A peice of reflective tape around the optical slave solves the problem. We just made that modification to my assistant's monolights as a matter of fact.
It's all about control.
I don't use a fill light because the light because a reflector offers more finite control.
It's simpler, easier and faster to use, but it's certainly not the only way to fill.
A fill light works too, and I used it for many years....but the reflector has many advantages over an extra light.
