LightSphere 2 is best i think

look for weekh, costs abt $80

up for weekh.Lightsphere is the best diffuser i had ever used!!!!Best diffuser i could find but had sold it off becoz of the bulky size,mount and dismount is quite troublesome.In terms of quality,i rate it 5 stars but in terms of size rate it 2stars only.size is not very portable for me.

It depends on your nature of photography. If you're going for quality in difusing light, then go for weekh's lightsphere. If you need to travel light and handy, then go for OmniBounce.

I'm doing wedding, need to travel light and fast, so I'm using the OmniBounce.

Preferred the Softbox vs the Omnibounce because it fits faster and doesn't scratch the flash. Is there anyway to loosen the Omnibounce?

Actually i find the catchlight card that comes with the 580 is not bad also
