The top-of-the-line Canon Speedlite is not heavy compared to the weight of camera and lens, so you shouldn't need to buy another tripod, as long as you are mostly using it for level shots. If you are tilting the camera significantly for some shots, the addition of a shoe-mount flash may cause tipping. Just try it--if the flash makes your tripod unstable, buy a better tripod, but I wouldn't buy one in advance.
