I need to supplement my 3 canon 580 exii's and 430 dxii. I don't want to spend $450 for the 600 ex. Can anyone suggest a great flash under $250 that has a flashlight sensor as I do not want to buy additional pocket wizards?

I have 6 of these and I love them. I'm amazed with the way the slave fire works. I've had them fire in different rooms in a corner far from line of site of the trigger flash. good to know. how long have you had them for? is the quality getting better these days? any issues with YN, so far?
