Any tips or feedback would be appreciated.

depends on your output..... i.e. how much you shoot... bees would not handle my work flow, so I use profoto....
novatron are good if you have a slow shoot cycle...
In the past bees have had issue with consistency at low power, and the 1 time I used a bee if fell over and broke. ....
I use umbrellas because I want the specular 'pop' into the skin. plus I want spread into the set, I use photographic white interior on the umbrellas....
a guy using more than 2 lights would probably be better off with soft-boxes for control... something I don't really have issue with using such a small setup...
you can get 1 profoto used for $1000
