The Photek support is made especially for the fabric you have and I recommend it.
With a PC Buff strobe, you can choose just the amount of light you need. This company is most helpful and I suggest that you ask them for the particulars about each of their models.
Do not confuse an umbrella with a reflector board - they have different purposes (see blackboard below).
An UMBRELLA acts to soften the light...and you can use it with your light in two ways:
#1.
You can put the umbrella between the light and the subject. Then shine the light through the umbrella onto the subject...this will soften the light.
#2.
Another way to soften light is to turn the light away from the subject and shine it into an (opaque) umbrella behind it. The umbrella faces the subject.
A REFLECTOR is placed opposite the light in order to reflect light back into the shadow side of the subject.
I hope this is helpful.
