Check out the Yongnuos that have full TTL & ETTL functions. I own 4 of the 560 II, fully manual. They work great, and always read only positive reviews. I think they are under $200.
I concur. I have a 430 and a 600, but I wanted a couple of additional flashes to use as strobes when I need 3 or 4 flashes set up to get the effect I want. I got a Yongnuo 560 III to try. It's great and I will be getting another one soon. I don't know where you paid $200 for the 560 II, but the 560 III was $75 on eBay - new.

I paid around $80 for the manual Yongnuo. I was guessing at the price for the TTL flashes.
I just looked. The Yongnuo 568EX is around $180 each. These flashes can be controlled in camera (depends on model).

I was actually disappointed with my Yong. I could never seem to get the flash the way i wanted it to :/ It happens though. On the brightside, it was a cheap investment to find out that i wanted to to flash photography!

I have two EX 600 RT s and a old ex 430 used the 430 for a few year and it
Did a fine job, I bought my first EX 600 Rt knowing I wanted to go wireless
With radio control, since I didn't"t own any pocket wizards yet it made sense
To step up to the EX 600 RTs . The learning curve to just go out and shoot is quick put it in TTL and go shoot, to be able to master it I think I"ll spend the rest of my life. You need to ask your self what do you want to do. The first flash I bought was a pro master when I got my ex430 I never used that pro master again.

Buy the best available at this time. That would be the 600. Some suggest the 430 which is fine. There is not much money difference between the two.
