Bigger = softer doesn't tell me anything about the difference between an Umbrella, Octabox, Beauty Dish, and Rectangular Softbox. And the one thing you liked most about the Softbox was the fact that you can put a grid on it - but most of the other modifiers take grids too.

I use the 59 inches Zeppelin,and I can tell you that the light it produces is just gorgeous.The only problem is that I find it impractical for traveling.But for studio,it's great.
I am yet to find a comprehensive independent review and comparisons of the new beautydish to make my decision for travel modifier.

[@WestcottLighting]

For soft light for babies and even coverage of a larger areas for family photos a large softbox, octa or umbrella is a good choice. www.fjwestcott.com/shop/light-modifiers
