717 - what to buy first? wide lense or flash?

I have money for either the

SONY VCL-HGD0758 Wide Angle Conversion Lens
or
The Promaster 5750dx with module flash..

from experience does anyone know if the wide angle lense will block
the built in flash leaving darkspots? Which would you get first?

Personally, I'd go for the lens first, but I'm a wide angle
nut--and miss my 35mm's 19mm and 24mm wide angle lenses when I go
digitaling with the 717.

However, the conversion lens will certainly block much of the
camera's built-in flash on any "717-flash 0758 wide angle" shots
you take forcing you to shoot available light or use some type of
external lighting or add-on flash.

Sony has a new flash comming out that is going to be very good
compared to the 1000. Get the .7x lens. you will really like. By
then the new Sony flash will be hitting the street.
