Large Light Box: Profoto Giant Reflector vs. Elinchrom Octa Lightbank

[ylim]

<p>Hi all,<br>

I am looking for a large soft light and trying to decide between these 2. Hope to get some opinion in this forum.<br>

I am currently using Profoto's lights. so naturally, it would be easier to use their very own Giant Reflector. However, I have also read much about the Octa and understand that I can get an adaptor to put in Profoto heads into them.<br>

Perhaps someone who has experience with these 2 can elighten me here.<br>

Thanks!!!</p>

<p>You usually get what you pay for - but, if you are not constantly putting the boxes up and taking them down, you can get the same results from a cheaper unit from Photoflex or some of the house brands (Calumet, Adorama etc.)</p>
