David, I'm not sure that there is a big difference between the Omni-bounce and the Lumiquest Softbox. I seem to get more consistent exposures with the Lumiquest. For some reason, the Omni-bounce occasionally produced some underexposure. If I were to purchase again I would get the Lumiquest again. I got the Promax Softbox for US $27.00.
