Recommended Eggcrate for Lowe 1000w Softlight - 30, 40 or 50 degrees?

[Budgieboots]

Anybody have an opinion or experience on the eggcrates available for Lowel's Rifa Softlights?

I have a eX88 Softlight (1000w) from them, and I'm looking into investing in a Lowel eggcrate to try and control the spill.

I notice they come in 30, 40 and 50 degree amounts.

30 degrees is the most expensive. Therefore, it's the most awesome right?

How much spread and throw do you need from the light?
50 will provide the widest, while 30 degrees will give you a tighter pattern but fall off quicker.

I use eggcrates on softboxes because they are hard to control requiring large flags such as 4X4 floppies far from the softbox and close to what you need flagged off. They help. I'd go with medium for flexibility.

I'm looking to kind of highlight just one person or object from the background, without lighting up the rest of the room.
