An off camera cord will work well, but:
1) it will cost about as much as a radio trigger
2) a cord is a pain in the neck when you stop taking the photo & want to move the camera or the flash because the cord requires you to move both at the same time.
For example, say you hold the camera in one hand and the flash a little up and to the left in the other hand to get a great photo. Now you want to put the flash down to scratch your nose; you can't because it is hooked to the camera by a wire.
Or you have the flash mounted on a stand over there & you want to go adjust the model's Tutu; I guarantee you will trip over the wire and your camera will crash to the floor.
On the pro-wire side, the wire doesn't use batteries and is only one thing rather than two. Also a wire doesn't fail randomly.
Trust me here; I use a wire with a P-TTL flash & the wire is a PITA.
