Canon st-e3-r3 transmitter or 600ex-rt flash

Hi, is there much the st-e3 can do that the 600ex cannot

do? I was looking to purchase the st-e3 transmitter for

$300, but was thinking that for $200 more I should get

the flash instead. I believe the 600ex can do most of

what the transmitter can do... unless I'm mistaken.

 

My rational is that for paying 40% more, I can get more

than 40% more of functionality value from the 600ex.

 

Does anyone use the st-e3 that can provide additional

insight? Thanks.

My suggestion would be the Yongnuo YN-E3-RT @ $125. Does everything the ST-E3-RT does plus you get wireless 2nd

curtain sync and the ability to use <Gr> mode with older DSLRs and it has a some what usable focus assist beam. It

does not have weather sealing, it will drain your batteries if you leave them in while it is not in use and it will not wake the

Slaves from time to time but these are all easily delt with.....do not use in wet weather, remove the batteries when not in

use and a quick off then back on of the power switch restores full functionality.
