Default Metz Mecablitz 58 AF-1 for Canon - Opinions wanted

I'm looking for a new flash unit for my EOS 30D and think about
purchasing a Mecablitz 58 AF-1.
I've checked the specs and downloaded the user manual - feature-wise
it seems to be almost identical to Canon's 580EX. It is abt. 25% less
expensive than the 580EX here (in Austria) and thus seems to be an
attractive alternative.
I didn't find many useful reviews on the web, so I'd like to know if
anyone here is using Mecablitz 58 with a Canon DSLR and if you would
recommend getting one.

Additional details:

- Is the secondary reflector on this flash unit a useful feature or
just a marketing gag? Are you actually using it, and if so, in which
situations?

- Has anyone tested compatibility to Canon's flash units in wireless
remote operation?


Thanks,
Peter
