It's the diffuser sheets that make the difference in my opinion. Leaving them on gives a much larger field of light with much less shadowing. It's the equivalent to the light panels professional photographers use but at a fraction of the cost. I've been painting parts of the 356 using them as a light source. I get a much larger field of view of the light reflecting off of the surfaces as I'm applying the paint. It makes a noticeable difference.
