This is a fascinating thread - I personally find using any kind of flash very difficult even for family snaps. Many years ago when I did dabble in studio work I preferred heavy duty, high wattage bulbs and brolleys. I could only have them on for a few minutes at a time as the heat was unbearable!
As soon as I can find a suitable piece of kit i.e. second hand flash gun I'm going to have play for myself following all Don and the other poters advice.
This is great stuff I hope the WPF continues to host this type of forum thread.
