2 strobes or 1 strobe/1 focus light?

Okay so I have a NEX 5N with Nauticam housing and 1 YS-D1 Strobe.
Is it more beneficial to have 2 strobes (another D1) or 1 Strobe and a focus light? Wide angle and macro alike, have no preference one over the other. Just like my pictures to have color rather then be blue

In my book there is no argument - I would buy another flash, as powerful yet small as you can afford. I have messed around with focus lights and they are more of a nuisance than a help particularly with moving objects ie most of the things you want to photograph.

The only proviso would be if you wanted to do video and wanted a second light as a video light. Not sure how it works or what you would buy or how it would affect your still photo's as I don't do video.
