I'm shortly going to buy a couple of light modifiers for two Elinchrom monolights. I need one beauty dish/octabox and one striplight. The latter will generally be used for accent/side lighting but I'd want the option to use it as a fill light too.
I've found some Pixapro options that look both well made and well priced, but as it's going to be a one-time purchase I'm also considering the more expensive Elinchrom Snaplux Portrait Kit. The thing that's perturbing me, though, is that the interior of the octabox is white whilst that of the striplight is silver (I've actually just confirmed this with somebody at The Flash Centre, who also though it a bit weird). This has surely got to result in slightly different quality of light from each, and potentially a different colour cast, or am I worrying over nothing?
It's making me veer back towards the Pixapro units, both of which are white (and are half the price). Any thoughts/experiences to help me make a decision?
