The real value of a built in radio wireless is the ease of setup and battery management.

It's a little unwieldy to have to carry a FlexTT5 for every SB800/900, batteries for every FlexTT5 plus every SB800/900, and then a button battery for the MiniTT1 as well, oh and an AC3 as well.

For a 4 light setup that's 4 speedlights, 4 FlexTT5s, 1 MiniTT1 plus 1 AC3; 16 AA batteries for the speedlights, 8 AA batteries for the TT5s and 1 CR14 battery.

Come on, we need integrated radio to make life a bit easier and more reliable.

Exactly what I thought. Lots of parts, batteries to maintain, setting up. I've been wishing Nikon would turn out radio controlled speedlights in these threads back in 2005...Was always told the different country regulations would make this impossible in the foreseeable future. So we're stuck with speedlights that use a form of morse code to transmit commands...
