I've been doing research for DAYS now and think I'm close to a decision on my first purchase of radio remotes for off-camera flash. I can't afford Pocket Wizards but I want something with more reliability and longevity than the inexpensive ebay triggers, so I've narrowed my choice down to the Cybersyncs or the RadioPopper JrX system. But, here, I'm stuck on which one to go with. The Cybersyncs are slightly more in cost, but that isn't really a factor. The RadiioPopper JrX system has the tantalizing possibility of TTL functionality, if RadioPopper ever releases the PRcube (their recent email to me said the cube is still 4-6 weeks away from release, but I've been hearing that for months now, so I'm not holding my breath).

Here's what I'd like to do with the strobes and my list of existing equipment:

Canon 40D with a 430EX II flash (looking for a second manual flash--Nikon SB-28, for example. Thought I'd start out with 2 flash strobes and add a third in the not too distant future). I want to use the system primarily for indoor portraiture--people and pets--but also want the portability to take the set-up off-site and possibly outdoors on occasion. I'll be adding the necessary umbrellas, reflectors, etc. to complete the set-up.

So I'd like to hear what you guys think and your opinions on what, of the two choices, would be your pick: The Cybersyncs or the RadioPoppers?
