Flash for K30

I've had my K30 a couple years, used it only off and on due to limited free time. I'm old school, used film/darkroom, loved my 6x7...so the digital thing is newish. I now have plenty of time and desire to dedicate to becoming more comfortable/familiar with my K30. One thing.... I know absolutely nothing about flashes. I want to learn more, and would like something easy to use/learn, and get good results....price isn't an issue. Suggestions?

I'd start with this guide:
Comprehensive Pentax P-TTL Flash Guide Updated - Articles and Tips | PentaxForums.com

IMO the AF 360 II is a good starting point. You can also go with one of the Metz flashes if your budget is lower- they are quite good.
