Basically, the output and diffusion level of a white umbrella and the silver one can be the same really if used skillfully. But the main difference is that you can actually stick the shoot-through nearer to the subject to get more of the wrapping effect of a huge light.
Here's the set-up of the photo above:
Had I used the silver version, the umbrella would have to be much farther from the subject. 
The lovely light fall-off on my semi-clenched hand also shows the effect of the white umbrella being really near. The light source is now bigger which translates to a more softer light.

Gear: Shoot Thru Umbrella
Places: Doljo Point, Panglao, Bohol
In Bohol, there are still places unspoilt. One just has to go to the right places, know the right people. Take for example Doljo Point. I was here once a few years ago when it was clean and pristine. Now, it still is as beautiful as before.
Only about 20 minutes from the city, Doljo offers locals and visitors alike a slice of paradise.
Uhm, apologies if the "models" above kinduv spoiled the beauty of the beach. Pardon! =)
