Anyone use AlienBees Foldable Giant Softbox?

Does anyone use the Foldable Giant Softbox (30" x 60") from Alien Bees?

I just got back from a friend's house and helped him set up his new lighting sets. Man, that thing is HUGE. It's a like a deep small canoe.

If you do use it, what do you use it for? I mean any specific scenarios? Or is it your main soft box?

Do tell.

It is my main light when shooting small groups of 3 or 4 poeple.

I have one and use it a lot. You can use a gobo to make into a smaller softbox.

I have 2 and I use them as 2 main lights for team photos.
I love how easy they are to set up, but they are very heavy and one of my AB800s started to drop the softbox after using them for like 4 times. My AB800s are less than a year old:(
I am probably going to switch to one size smaller.
