Seg, your triggers are on my lottery list.
Best of luck.

The advantage of radio triggers are that they do not need that flattening on camera flash, so you can keep the center dark if you want, and at shots like weddings where others will be shooting at the same time, their flashes will not trigger your lights. |
I am pretty sure that CLS can be configured to NOT include the on camera flash for the actual shot, it is only used as a preflash for metering. Pretty sure that was covered in the One light, two light siminar that Joe McNally gave last summer.
This would mean that nothing else is required for using the umbrella and you have TTL to boot. |
True. You can set the on-board flash to only control the remote flashes. You may get a small reflection, but it doesn't contribute to the exposure. |
It also depends on what kind of work you're doing. I was trying to achieve a shot for the silhouette challenge but since I was using my on board flash to fire my sb600, my face would light up.
eta: It is always possible that I was doing something wrong :/ |
Pretty sure you were. You can configure it to not use the onboard flash for the exposure. It will still fire, but only for metering and triggering the external flash. |

I had the on board set to commander mode but I will check the manual and play with the settings again.
