Just to be picky, your comment, " Larger light sources are softer light sources" is only true if the distance to the subject remains constant. A six foot soft-box 40 feet a way is almost a point source.
Yes, I left out the obvious.

May have Karma'd too soon.

As folks are noticing, the difference in use between softbox and umbrellas are another one of those personal taste issues.

I use both and I've thought about getting a brolly box.
