how is this Speedotron kit?

I have been looking to build my own studio for quite some time now and happened to stumble upond this kit by Speedotron.
http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProPhotoS...ht-system.aspx

its got everything i need except for a couple of softboxes.
heres what i have built so far...
1- http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProPhotoS...ht-system.aspx power source

2- http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProPhotoC...0-monolig.aspx speedrings for chimera boxes

1- http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProPhotoL...rge-54x72.aspx main light

1- http://www.vistek.ca/store/ProPhotoL...ium-36x48.aspx fill light(NOT SURE ABOUT THIS, COULD USE A REFLECTOR...?)


What do you guys think of this kit as indoor/outdoor full body shooting? has anybody ordered from Vistek before? I am putting a lot of money down for this setup($3338.80) and would like to get some feedback before i start dumping all my cash

TIA

How big is your studio space? Depending on how low you can go with the power output, this kit may be way too powerful for what you need.

I have a space of a 1 car garage. I like the power for outdoor shooting but thats going to be rare, I will be doing mostly full body shots.

bowens and calumet make some great starter kits, I've had some personal experience with quad x lights and a bowens 1500 explorer (great portable kit although quite heavy) and currently use bowens espirit which can be purchased for not much more for 1k used.
