No but I will say that I tried to save money on my first flash and bought something cheap that I used about twice before it was packed away in a closet never to be seen again. The next time I studied a little bit and bought this flash because it spec'd out to what I needed, especially the cycle times... and I love it, it was worth every penny of the purchase price.

It has been suggested that I should perhaps purchase a "Flash" speedlite unit to complement my camera bag.

The "War Office" has tacitly agreed and so I am looking at the following units:
Canon 430ex II, Nissin Di 622 II and Nissin MF18. Ive long had a hankering for the Canon MR 14EX but sadly, thats not in the war budget.

Main use would be for Macro and my big concern is for simplicity of use/understanding.

Any thought based on experience would be appreciated.

For lighting a macro subject, you will either need a ring flash (MF18) or a way to direct light onto the subject (off-camera cord, slave, reflector, etc.). Maybe the War Department could authorize the additional cost of the Canon MR 14EX by redirecting discretionary or public policy funds; the government does it all the time.
