I use one of the EZCubes too, it's very handy. For lighting, I use a pair of Paterson EFlash Panels and a Nikon SB-30 to use as a slave trigger. Very even, very consistent light output, the Patersons are about $80 each. Since I capture in RAW format, I do the color correction in post processing. With the EZCube and flash units, the light is so consistent that I can just apply a standard filter and don't even have to worry about a calibration shot.
