Personally, the flash master in the pop up alone is worth the $100. Otherwise, if you want a wireless eTTL master unit, you'd have to buy an ST-E2 ($200), 550EX, 580EX, or 580EX II ($250-$500) unit to put on the hotshoe.

Thanks inkista - helps!

Exactly what inkista said. The wireless flash alone is worth the extra price. But there are definitely times where the articulated LCD is downright invaluable. And those two things are the exact reason I waited to get the T3i.

Ah, yes, forgot about the flip-out screen. Very handy, have wanted one for ages...
