Heads, Yongnuo.
Tails: Vivtar.
I have three 285's each from the mid-1980's. Still working. Not sure if the Chinese-made Yongnuos will hold up for as many years or not...they have only been on the market for a short period of time...specification-wise the Yongy's seem to have a lot of good features. I believe the 560 has a built-in slave trigger: that alone is worth $25 in monetary terms, and even MORE in practical terms and expanded capabilities right outta' the box...do you have a web page that shows complete specs for the Yongy???
If this is your first flash, get one that can do TTL auto mode. If this isnt your first one and you want to do OCF, it doesnt matter unless you have fancy trigger that can do TTL and FP mode.
I located the official Yongnuo 560 manual at http://www.yongnuoebay.com/sm/yn5601.pdf
and one for the 285HV at http://ec1.images-amazon.com/media/i3d/01/A/man-migrate/MANUAL000011531.pdf
The Yongy is newer and more high-tech looking, and has finer control settings in terms of power output and flash head zoom. The thing that would annoy me is the auto-shutoff on the Yongy....ewww...I would not want that, ever!!! It says the delay can be lengthened, but I would want power-saving to be disabled totally. Power-saving auto shutoff is what I refer to as the "advanced picture-misser" feature...
Another to consider is the Metz. Just got the Mecablitz 50 AF-1, it's pretty awesome. To me it certainly holds its own with the SB800

Agreed, but for the price of the Metz, I could have 3 Vivitars or Yongnuos.

woah, I guess I somehow stumbled upon a 1 day deal I wasn't aware of or something. I got mine off Amazon for $140 from Adorama. Now they're $230.
the ebay studio strobe I bought blows them away and has a modelling light to boot.

I'll bite---what's that?
