Currently I have a 430Ex II, I need to add a flash for keylight/background when using it off camera. Is there any benefit to add a 580 instead?

I've owned a 430EX for about 5 years and have been so pleased with it that I just picked up a 430EX II as a second flash. I use them both wirelessly using my 60D pop-up flash as control (which actually gives you 3 flashes if you use the pop-up for modest fill), and the two work like a charm using A:B ratios. Hugh
