Softlight looks good especially with two flashes spreading light evenly. I am not sure about aiming flashes backward. The test reveals much more brolly framework and great evenness but is this a trick of the camera. Apart from catchlight I cannot imagine much difference with portraits with exception to greater power which means greater flexibility, of course.
The test does explain why I am not getting octagonal/round catchlights in portraits more oval using a single flash in shoot-through/softlight configuration
