I used my 7D, ST-E2, 430EX and 420EX for 5 years. I mainly shot macro with reflectors and it was a very reliable setup, basically triggering 100% of the time. Of course, you need line-of-sight between the ST-E2 and the 430EX sensor and must stay within the 15 foot trigger range. If your hand or a tree branch get in the way, it's a no go.
With that said, this is not a good setup for shooting groups of people outdoors, e.g., wedding party, as you'll be bumping up against the extremes of the range in terms of both distance and angle of trigger coverage. You'll suffer endless frustration. It's best suited for macro and indoor shooting in rooms with lots of reflective surfaces. For daytime shooting of groups of people outdoors, you need to invest the big bucks for radio or forever be sorry.
