Pros: Good alternative to 580 ex-ii
Cons: Wink light not always useful, if that would sway you to buy it over Canon.

I've used this flash to shoot 2 weddings with. Although 2 outings are not enough time to get used to a new flash, consider I've shot over 800 shots with it.
It's a good flash. In my opinion, not a great flash. I went up from a Canon 420ex, looking for more power, and the addition of a wink light.
I wish the wink light could be dialed down past 1/4 power. This low, it seems to be too bright for my needs, and found I got better results with it turned OFF.
I shot with a Demb FlipIt! and liked the results I got, but also found the controls to be a bit cumbersome to use, and the flash head doesn't always stay where you put it.
I found myself going back to my simple yet effective 420ex.
Good flash...but the jury's still out if it's for me and wedding work.
I rated it a 7. I've yet to see a flash I'd call a 10, and since I haven't shot with the 580 ex-ii, I can't say if it's better or worse, so I went with a 7.
