I've used the 360 and 540, and they're both great. I just got the Metz 58 af1 , and while it "feels" cheaper than either Pentax flash, it has more power and options for the price than the 540. I especially like the built-in secondary flash, which works great as a fill flash. Refresh also seems quicker on alkaline batteries.
