I actually started a similar thread a week or 2 ago when I was contemplating picking one up, and I read a lot of bad reviews and wanted to get the "FM Perspective." I agree with mrgetalife - the majority of the bad reviews are simply complaints about the cost and or the limited camera compatibility. I wound up buying one myself and I honestly really like it. Admittedly, right now, I'm only using it as a single speedlight on-camera, but the unit works well, recycles really quickly, is powerful and it actually feels a lot lighter than my SB910. In the future when I want to use it off camera or in a multi-flash setup, it will probably bother me A LOT that I can't do anything with the radio system on my D810, but by then, I'm hoping that they come out with a replacement for the SU800 that has radio control. But until then, it's probably not an ideal flash system to buy into unless you are shooting a D5 or D500.
