I picked up an 86" Soft Silver PLM and it arrived just in time to give it a try this weekend. It has been moved to the top of my favorites list as far as modifiers go. I like the variance in contrast with and without the diffusion material - just enough. With a 9 foot ceiling, I have a few inches to spare when it is placed on the Bogen 3082 light stand. It is not as unwieldy as I thought it would be. Having wheels on the stand does help with repositioning.
With Diffusion - about 18" off the background at F8
