Default Nikon's CLS vs Strobes/Traditional Lighting

I am about to make the investment into some real lighting.
I do not have a studio, but will have a couple of jobs where I will be doing group shots indoors and need something a bit more powerful.
I have to buy stands, umbrellas, etc, but I already have the one SB-600, so I am debating investing in one or more new speedlights vs some monolights via a kit, either AlienBees or a B&H kit.

Sticking with the Nikon stuff, I get the built in wireless control, with it's limitations, and expand on what I have. The downside of course is less power.

I have been reading the Strobist and searching for any past information but nothing has swayed me either way.

I guess the information I am looking for is the Nikon CLS worth investing in? Anyone use this to any extent? And with more than a single unit?

Thanks in advance.

Bill
