Well, I've decided to buy a PVGS180. The only thing the salespeople couldn't tell me is what type of additional light doesn't mess up the picture. Anybody have suggestions? Budget is limited but can still spend a few bucks if needed.

For a nice beginning light kit I recommend:
A couple of work light with stands from any home improvement store.
Five or six ?scoop lights? - those clamp on work lights with the silver reflector.
Three or four pieces of foam core from any art supply store to use to bounce the light.
Two or three paper lanterns that you can get at Ikea. I hook each one to a dimmer (home improvement store again) to get better control.
Some colored gels (check on line or if there is a small theater in your town they often have extras) and some black wrap. Check http://www.studiodepot.com/store/

As always it's not owning the equipment that gives you a great picture - it's your skill and experience in using that equipment.
