Been shopping around for my first flash, decided on the 580ex II. Looking on pricegrabber, found this site (external link). Its over a hundred bucks cheaper than elsewhere... What do you think? Site has 4.5 stars with over 60 reviews from pricegrabber. Sounds legit, but that much of a price difference with BH or Adorama makes me question it.

I bought a 580EXII when it went on sale for $400 at Henry's here in Canada. I bought it from Best Buy who price matched it and I got an extra $20 off.

I've seen B&H and Adorama sales off and on for these flashes as well, so I would suggest just keeping an eye out for them.

I have seen this type of thing on so many other sites. If it is too good to be true something is not right.
