Ermmm, and GN 30 (Nikon) vs. GN 48 (Metz),
and being limited to full stop power level increments in manual mode over a 6 stop range (to 1/64th power) - Metz has 7 stop range in 1/3 stop increments.

£230 for the Nikon, £175 for the Metz, that's a 30% price increase for the Nikon over the Metz.

Just as you do with the Metz. As for quality/durability issues, next time you see a pack of press 'togs, just see who's flashguns they are using.

Oh dear, the marketing boys have got you hook, line and sinker. This is complete rubbish. There are many thousands of third party flash users out there, who have no issues at all. The Metz even has the ability for users to upgrade the firmware in the future, making the equipment compatible with cameras that don't yet exist. As it is, just look at the list of caveats in the front of the SB-600 manual to see all the features on existing cameras that it can't support.
Sorry Lee, but don't believe the manufacturer's hype.
