I think a few price tags would have helped here. I just got my first monolight, a 150ws Flashpoint, for a pretty modest price -

Flashpoint II FP320M 150 Watt AC/DC Monolight Strobe FP320M

I'm just getting started with this stuff, have only a couple of umbrellas and one softbox at this point. But it's already evident that their use is different, really different. Most light "kits" give you either umbrellas or softboxes, but not both. So for noobs I think it would be helpful to go into the differences in greater detail. Otherwise there is a 50% chance they will end up with the wrong kit.
