Hi Steve. If thats $150 USd i'd say its steep too.I recently bought a used AF280T, i'm in Canada, for $100 USd with case but no manual.Got one form Pentax Canada at n/c. Nice flash,good results from the few times i'v used it.Tooka few inside at night bounce shots of my cats,no burn,nice picture. I don't find it big or bulky,especially after using the Vivitar 285 HV on the D1. I bought a Super Program to go with the flash BTW.

Later on you can �try the "Hot Shoe Grip" with bracket and the �"4P Sync Cord B", it`s an excellent set up for off camera flash work. The 4P Sync Cord B comes in two lengths, one meter, and three meter. Pentax did not make a diffuser for the AF200T, as there are no slots for it to slide on.
