What is the better buy? And is there any other brand I should look at? I need this for outdoors when you don't have anything to bounce off of. Thanks :D

I like the first one better. But then again, why spend over $20 for something you can (http://www.dforum.de/Technik/softbox/softbox.htm) make yourself (http://www.diyphotography.net/homestudio/cheap-diy-flash-mounted-softbox) for 1/10th of the price and that meets your needs exactly?

Any reason why you like the Lumiquest better?

Also, is this better than using an item that bounces the light forward instead?
