Off Camera Strobist 430EX vs SB-26

Is it worth it to keep the 430EX and add one SB-26, or should I sell the 430EX and pick up two SB-26 units... then it wouldn't cost me a thing for the "upgrade?"

I currently have a 580EX II that I can use with the 430EX and keep E-TTL. I also have a set of Cactus triggers on the way. Been messing around with the IR wireless and manual flashing so far, and it's loads of fun. I just know that having 3 total flashes to play with will be even better.

What's your take?

On camera I use a dedicated flash, off camera I use old manual flashes. It works for how I shoot, I wouldn't assume the same for everyone else.

I would sell the 430 if it buys you two 26, seeing as you have the 580 for those on-camera-ttl-moments.

I'm in the same position, I have a 430ex and going to sell it to fund for 2 Sunpak 383.

It's pretty sweet to have at least one e-ttl-able flash though.
