I have been looking at getting a new flash as the one on camera sucks for the most part. I was looking around and saw a Sigma that looked good. I shoot a little of everything from nature, portraits, kids around the house and anything else that looks good to my eye. I like the fact that it can work as a master or slave and I would also love to get a wireless set up with a shadow box type setup for taking portraits. Anyone have a link they can post up with some info on the wireless setups?
Here is the specs of the Sigma. Price $ 219.00 EF-530 DG Super E-TTL II Shoe Mount Flash (Guide No. 174/53 m at 105mm) for Canon EOS with E-TTL II.
• Bounce & swivel head
Flash can be tilted 90° upwards and 7° downward for close-ups. Also can be swiveled 180° to the left and 90° to the right
• AF Assist
Autofocus auxiliary lamp helps the camera to focus in low-light situations
• LCD Display
Features an illuminated LCD panel
• Strobe Effect
The "multi pulse" features enable reduced power setting from 1/4 to 1/128 in 6 steps and the pulse frequency of the flash can be set from 1Hz to 199Hz
• High-speed sync
High-speed sync & wireless E-TTL TTL features are supported when used with applicable cameras
• Slave Flash
Allows the flash to be triggered by the camera's built-in flash or another flash
• Modeling Light
Incorporates "modeling flash" mode to provide proper light distribution to check the shadow of the subject
For the price it looks like a great buy, but are there other that I'm missing?
Thanks for any info you guys, and ladies have to share.

EDIT: forgot to say that I have the Canon Xsi
