Hi all, this is a question for anyone who owns or has had experience with both the Pentax AF-540FGZ as well as the Metz 58 AF-1: Which flash is louder while zooming?

Now that I shoot with the stealthy K-7 and whispering SDM lenses, I find that I am getting very irritated by the zoom noise made by the AF-540 flash, especially during speeches etc that the flash makes a fairly noticeable racket when everyone in the room is silent and listening to a speaker who is not "campaign shouting like a southern diplomat."

Anyway, long story short: is the Metz any quieter? I haven't yet found one to try in-store, but I will try harder and try both my 540 and a Metz on in the store. In the meanwhile, I'd love to hear members' opinions on this subject.
