I do when I'm shooting the reception. I have two cameras on me. But I use pocket wizards. I tried the 600 ex-rt flashes and transmitter but I prefer the simplicity of my manual flashes and PW's.

Thats the conclusion i have come to as well. Too easy to put a Plus1 on a camera and fire away. I you dont already have $$ invested in a cybersynch system or a PW system then maybe i could see it. But these 600s are not any more powerful than the 580-s. I have both sets of wizards,,plus11 and mini/flex systems...they work flawlessly for me with zero issues. They fire strobes or speed lights. Honestly, since i have switched over and we are using Beauty dish's and strobes for outside work, strobes and parabolic for formals, About the only time we use a speed light is at a reception, processional, and a dressing room. I get better light with strobes,,especially outside... speed lights cant cut it at 2;00PM in the afternoon when we are out messing around with bridal parties. Speed lights don't put out enough light for my needs with parabolic s and formals. I want to soot my formals at F/8 so speed lights wont get me there inside either.
pretty ticked at Canons take it or leave it attitude by discontinuing the 580's. So i have been a very loyal canon user but when it come to the time that i have to replace these 580's i will probably have to go aftermarket. I dont need a 600.oo speed light for what i do.
