Suggest you use a Lumiquest bouncer or similar when there are no convenient ceilings or walls. Direct flash can be very hard (as aopposed to soft). Maybe you already have one but I thought I'd mention it.

The StoFen is ok, but you have to pump up the ISO to at least 400 or 800 to bring the exposure up, in my opinion. I suggest puting a card behind it. I have a Flip-It that's velcroed to the flash and bounces some of that light forward. Of course if you use the StoFen you do have to have white ceilings to bounce.
