I have a well-loved YS-01 that I use with a housed Oly EM5-II. I'm reasonably happy with how it works for macro stuff, but less impressed with my wide angle results. I'm thinking of picking up a second strobe. I noticed the YS-D2J is on sale for about 20% off some places, which makes it roughly comparable to the YS-01 (well, if you think $100 is roughly comparable). I've heard the stories about the old YS-D2s, but hopefully that is fixed with the J version. Looking at the specs it looks like the YS-D2J is only a bit bulkier and maybe 25% heavier. I am still mostly shooting TTL, which is my motivation for sticking with Sea&Sea. The YS-01 I have works quite well in TTL mode, and I'm guessing that any kind of slaving is going to work better with two strobes of the same brand.
Any thoughts or suggestions on what to choose?
EDIT: it's more like 20% off than 1/3 off.
