Some of us tend to be over zealous once we have moved up and tend to forget how much fun we had and how creative we were when we only had bare bones stuff. Don't worry too much over a room full of lights until you have exceeded the abilities of your two-light rig.

Thanks Steve...

I'm figuring that for my intended uses (baby pictures to give to family/friends, pics of my wife for myself, and couples pictures for friends) the equipment I got will probably serve my needs for a long long time.

The studio we shot in that prompted this had one strobe, one silver reflector, a handful of propes, and a low key backdrop and we loved what we were able to do there. I don't see why I can't replicate my results there at home.
