Christine,

Relative power of the flash guns comes into play. As I mentioned, the pop up is low powered and if it is used to trigger the main one on the grip it will only have limited impact on the exposure. I am reminded that Metz used to do a big unit with a secondary flash tube. Worth a few test shots to confirm. Try these without a diffuser at several different distances from your subject.
