Canon 430ex flash

I was looking at flashes as the inbuilt flash on 350d is not powerful enough and is only okay in fill flash cases. 580ex was too expensive+heavy+overkill for me. So, I was looking at 420EX seriously, but was wondering if E-TTL-II is a good feature to have (which 420ex doesn't have and 580ex does have). Lo and Behold, canon releases 430ex with E-TTLII.

Features and all look nice. It has an LCD screen. A little bit pricey, but I think I'll go with it. Looking forward to finding good deals on this. More information on this flash is available HERE
