I'm a bit confused here, and the descriptions don't help. I had earlier noted the Bower:

Bower SFD926P flash (~$105-125). The head tilts and turns and has Autofocus TTL Power Zoom and has a built in reflector and diffuser.
This generated DaveHolmes' response.

I don't know the price of the Bower unit.... I do however think that 'manual' mode is the way to go if you really want to understand how flash works (in terms of exposure...)... I use and recommend the YN560 as for the price you really can't go wrong...
On the B&H site, however, it says of this flash:
The Bower SFD926P Digital Shoe Mount Flash is an economical flash with complete TTL exposure support for digital SLR cameras. This version is dedicated to the Pentax/Samsung P-TTL metering system.
In any case, it seems to work well enough!
