I have no idea, lol. If your set-up works for you, then you don't need to buy more I would guess.

I'm not quite sure what it is you are saying you have.
A classic 2 light setup usually consists of a reflecting umbrella for the harder main light and a softer fill light provided by a shoot through umbrella or a soft box.
If you've got the money by all means get an Octa soft box. If you are on a budget get a shoot through umbrella if you not using one at the moment.
Depending upon the style you wish to get you will need some harder light or the whole thing starts to look very flat if you use all soft light.
And every one said, 'If we only live,
We too will go to sea in a Sieve,---
To the hills of the Chankly Bore!'
Far and few, far and few, Are the lands where the Jumblies
live;
Their heads are green, and their hands are blue, And they went to
sea in a Sieve.

Perhaps your friend can loan you the one they suggest to see if its worth the money they do a round one which does provide a lovely catchlight and the square type also

I think like you Danob... Yesterday i make some shot in nude artistic and I like to play with the slow lighting and the courb of body. I think this man say me that because he make photo portrait and for that it's necesary to have a very nice reflect light...

It was very bright sunny day and outdoor wedding. I used speedlight with the clear lightsphere dome attached. Will show you a picture. The photos taken inside her house come out awesome. Makes shadows softer and less harsh. Portraits softer also. When using flash it makes eyes sink in. Was really pleased with the outcome. Like a portable studio.
**It also worked wonderful with the latest baby portraits i did. **
