Those are nice looking umbrellas. Do you have any samples of images taken with the silver lining?

I've been avoiding shooting with my silver umbrellas lately because of the specular quality of them. They have way too much of a "focused" beam and for some reason mine are kinda difficult to meter... with the ones I use they have hot spots that alter the meter readings as much as 2 stops in any particular point.

Anyway, ever since I switched to using either white with black backing, or white shoot-through umbrellas, I've been quite happy with the results.
