What about the Vivitar's trigger voltage? According to this site, http://www.botzilla.com/photo/strobeVolts.html it's as high as 12V for the newer models and 350V for the older models. People have also reported lower voltages, in the order of 7-8V. What about yours?

By the way, if you're just talking about a single on-camera shoe-mount
autoflash, the Vivitar 285HV is nearly as good as the Metz once you get used to its quirks, and around US$250-$300 cheaper brand new. Like the 550EX, both the Metz and Vivitar take a variety of external power packs (their own, Quantum, Digital Pursuits, etc.) so you can shoot all day without changing batteries. The Vivitar feels a lot more plasticky than either the Metz or Canon, and they sell a lot of replacement feet for it so I guess the foot has a tendency to crack, although mine never has.
