I am currently looking for a cheap home studio flash kit. I have set up a corner of my office as a makeshift studio with table, and white sheet background. I am hoping to mainly take shots of our new baby. The flash units would only be about 1.5m from the subject because of space. Idealy i would like a twin head, one with umbrella and one with softbox, this is just so that I have the versatility to try different things. I have found the following possible kits:

Do I need a wattage of 150W? or would 45W suffice? Although the 45W does not seem to have the facility to change the power control. I could use the 150W only on 1/32 power I suppose, but is this going to be just far too big?
