The Metz 54MZ-3 is a decent alternative to the 550EX. The automatic mode generally provides more consistent (within 1/3 stop) exposures than the 550EX, and is less sensitive to ambient light color variations. Compare this to the 550EX, where the flash exposure is heavily dependent on what the focusing point is placed on and the ambient lighting in the room. If there is ambient lighting, the camera will reduce the amount of light output from the flash.
The Metz 54MZ-3 in automatic mode tends to overexpose about 1/2-2/3 stop (this behavior tends to be consistent, as opposed to the 550EX, which tends to underexpose.
