Yes, I see what you mean. When I have my AB's too low, I do see the blue cast. But I also start my shoot with a Whibal card and change the WB in LightRoom.

I also have a hard time believing that soft boxes can be radically different from one another. I own both the large AB and the 4 x 6 Larson. The Larson is flatter...which I am sure has something to do with light dispersion...but it would seem a soft box is a soft box is a soft box. I suppose a better comparison would be between a Chimera and an Alien Bee soft box, as their dimensions are more the same. Does the quality of the light really change from Chimera to Alien Bee?
