I have one of each, (old and new versions). I don't find the ability to point the flash backwards to use ceilings as reflectors that useful, as the flash isn't really powerful enough. It's a nice idea, but needs roughly twice, (maybe more, I'm too lazy to do the math), the power output to be really useful.
