I'd suggest that you forget about buying a softbox at this time. Learn how to use your umbrella's first.
Once you learn how to light your subjects with just one umbrella, then bring in the second umbrella. Learn that first.
Then, once you've done that, you'll understand a lot more about lighting and will be much better equiped to make a good decision when you do buy a softbox.
I fear that you are falling for a common myth; which is thinking that a buying something will make you a better photographer.
If you don't understand how to use umbrella's to take great photos, you won't understand how to use a softbox to take great photos.
