Which one do you use; the silver lined one or the white? I am sure the light output from the silver is probably slightly more although not by much at the expense slightly harsher output. Is that even noticeable? Thank you!

Joshua, it really depends upon when and where you are shooting. I have 3 Glow EZ popup softboxes, a 28" 16 sided white interior diameter Parapop, same as Hodie mentioned, and a 20" deep parabolic and a 1' by 3' strip box that are both silver inside. As others said, they are a good value and work very well, and are easy to transport and set up. Originally got the Parapop about 4 years ago and used it mainly in my small studio, it produces a nice soft even light for being only 28" diameter. But now that I shoot mostly in the sunny desert, I choose to purchase the silver lining on the last 2. I need the extra pop the silver brings, about 1 stop more light vs the white interior, and besides, they all come with 2 snap on/velcro on diffusers, (plus grids on the last 2) so you can tame the harsher silver lining if needed. But I almost always just shoot with just the inner snap in diffuser that allows the AD 200 bare bulb light to spread around it, the inner diffuser is double layer and really just for stopping the white hot spots that can occur if the modifier is not feathered.
