Sylwester, The 360FGZ advantages show themselves on the MZ-S or in control situations. It can do P-TTL, TTL, Automatic (built in sensor, multiple f-stop ranges),Manual with power output settings. It can also participate in multi-flash (wireless and wired) TTL setups with each flash set to different power level - all TTL. No other flash that Pentax makes comes close to doing these kinds of things. The FTZ's don't have multi-power manual settings or any automatic modes. The 500FTZ does have two advantages - more GN power and full tilt, swivel. So if all you are doing is clipping the flash onto the PZ-1p, there probably isn't much advantage or maybe even a disadvantage (less power, no swivel). But, if you take the flash off camera and/or use multiple flashes and/or use an MZ-S or the new ZX-L? then there are lots of advantages.
HTH Bruce Dayton P.S. Any questions let me know. I have 3 of them and use them in single and multi-flash setups on both the MZ-S and the P67II.
