The effect will be pretty much identical as shooting thru an octagonal softbox, like a Wescott Halo, although it won't be as efficient. But it's different than a rectangular softbox because it's not as directional.
However if you don't want to spend the money on a softbox, I believe it's the next best thing. The downside is that you need more power because so much light is lost.
