I'm in the process of deciding on studio lighting and am thinking of Alien Bees and/or SB800/SB600. I really like the idea of the CLS of Nikon but think it might be more practical to mix and match. So currently, I'm thinking of 2 AB800s and 1 SB800 and 1 SB600. My thinking is I would then use the ABs as Main/Fill and the SBs as hairlight/background when I shoot in studio. Having the SBs, I would then have a very portable lighting option for shooting outdoor location shots.
Does this make sense? Is there anything I'm overlooking that's obvious to those in the know? Will I have wb issues with mixing these two lighting sources? Would I be better served going straight AB or SB route? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
