Flash for K-x

I have been looking for a flash for my K-x and I am trying to decide between the Metz 50-AF-1 and the Pentax AF-360. I am not sure if the Metz will work off camera in P-ttl mode or as a slave with the camera's flash acting as the master. A guy at B-H said the flash would need an additional flash acting as the master mounted on the hot shoe in order for the flash to work in P-ttl mode with the K-x. He also told me the Metz had to be in line-of-sight in order to pick up the infrared signal from the K-x in order to fire, is this the same with the Pentax flash? I only want to buy one flash, does anyone have a recommendation between these two flash units? Pro's and con's??

Thanks for the information. The more I read up on these flashes, the more confusing it became. I like the fact that the Metz is more powerful and was leaning in that direction.
