Help me decide PLEASE!

I need a second flash for strobist shoots. I already have a 430ex. I'm looking for something around $100.00 or less that offers good manual control. It will be triggered by ebay cactus style triggers. Maybe something thats not so hard to get my hands on. Thank You

I have an Opteka EF 600DG SUPER. it has ETTL and, I think, it's more powerful than the 430ex. About $90 on amazon.

That doesn't look bad. Whats the reload rate on it?

what about a nik*n SB-24?
i have 2 of em for strobist and there great.

I also have two of the Nikon SB-24's that I use off camera.
I went with those for the PC sync port, so I can connect my PW's using the included cord.
They work great, and can be found on ebay for less than $100.

ya, i even used one on my XTi (i put electrical tape over the logo ) and it worked great. too bad u cant find a sto-fen for it.
when buying them on ebay dont get into a bidding race over 95$ if u wait u can get them for 70$ so just be patient. i got 1 for 105$ and one for 70$ both on the same day.
