If you went with the Nikon and have coin to spare, I recommend the SB800 flash as more powerful for bouncing and distance than the SB600.
However, if money is an issue, the SB600 is still a fantastic flash for nearly half the price of the 800.
Don't forget to pick up the Gary Fong diffuser.
BTW, a great resource, reliable, trustworthy, and great on prices, where just about all of my equipment through the years (enough to buy a new Mercedes Benz cash) came from, is B&H in NY.
