Anyone tried the Rokinon or Bower P-TTL flashes on Pentax DSLRs ?

I'm thinking of getting a Bower SFD926P (power zoom), or the Sigma 530 or 530 Super are also candidates (but cost $150 and $219), to use with my K10D, but would like to get opinions from a few folks who have used them. I'm a little leery of the power zoom aspect as I've heard of problems with sticking, or motor failure on other units (even the AF540FGZ). My main goal is a P-TTL capable unit with accurate exposure (including in bounce mode), bounce/swivel action, reliable build, and good power (and price under $150). Any comments or other flash model recommendations are appreciated...

P.S. I was looking at the Rokinon D980AFZ-P (power zoom) or D900AFZ-P (manual zoom) flash, but those appear to be TTL only...

Check this out as it has been discussed here with posted links too: https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-beginners-corner-q/85405-flash.html
You can check overstock.com as I think they sell them for less, not sure as I bought mine when it was on sale during Christmas.
