He overlooked one thing. Having a modeling light to "see" the light on the studio lights.

FYI...you can DIY a modeling light very easily for a speedlight.

I don't do studio work and I don't need lighting often. If I do, it's on location. So i've been thinking of selling 2 out of my 3 Alien Bees and picking up an SB900 to go with my 800 and 600 speedlights. There's so many good modifiers available now too.
