I'm looking at buying one of 2 set ups,

1, Bowens 125/250 gemini esprit = £499 - £599
2, Elinchrom dlite 2 or 4 =£399 - £550 (leaning towards these as they have digital dials/readings, which may be more accurate)

I know there are numerous cheaper kits but I have been told be a few people now to go for the best you can afford, with either brand above they are very versitile when it comes to adding items, swopping items at a later date as you maybe progress and need more/better equipment. You also get a load of accessories with either brand.

Bothe the above kits come with stands/umbrellas/softboxes etc.......
