Russell,

I own both as well as a 550EX and I would say try and find a used 540EZ.
It's build quality is excellent compared to the Sigma.  If you plan on
upgrading bodies down the road the 540 will do E-TTL so that may put the
Sigma at an advantage.  The Sigma isn't a bad flash at all but the Canon
is built like a tank and the Sigma feels less solid.
