I believe you have made a good choice. The Sigma is tempting with its high power to cost ratio but I have seen these in action and recycling times are quite slow, probably due to its high output requiring more charge. No problem for still life stuff but can be frustrating with portraits. SB-800 is not as powerful but recycles quickly and can be even faster with the included fifth battery holder. SB600 is a totally different flash altogether even though its in the same series as SB-800. Power difference between SB600 and SB800 is unnoticeable in real life situations.
Now you have a SB600 an SB800 should follow when budget allows which would give control over two flashes from one system using wireless IR control.
