Yongnuo 603 vs Cyber synch

I own both of these. Thus far there isn't much difference for me.

Yongnuo 603
-built in on/off switch
-come with cable for remote trigger
-cheap

Cyber sync
- the transmitter for the camera doesn't fall off at random

For the Yongnuo 603 a little ghetto tape will fix the problem of them falling off the camera. Can anyone shed some light on why the cyber sync is a better investment?

One thing that i do not like about the RF 603 is they removed the test button. I use my CyberSync transmitter in hand to fire the lights when metering. You cannot do that with the 603's. Bad move Yongnuo. The 602's had this. Why remove?

Using them as a remote trigger is pretty much the same thing eh?

No, that is what happened to the flash test button. They placed two actual trigger circuits in each unit. Now you only need 3 units to do both shutter release and flash trigger. The button on each unit only fires the remote shutter release circuit. This is a nice feature if you use the shutter release. But there is no way to fire the flash except firing the camera.

Right, thats what I was getting at. That really isn't a huge deal, just waste a few precious shutter actuations.
