The nifty shots were all done on our one day "off" from the scientific
expedition, many were action shots of animals (would you believe pink
flamingos and ostriches (sp?) at 14,000 feet? :) so I generally didn't
have time to bracket.

I would love one, but the only time I would use it would be during a
total solar eclipse. I could have it programmed to take a range of
exposures so as to properly expose the inner through the outer corona.
Our expedition leader does just that, in fact, with an F-4 and an F-5.
He almost never uses them otherwise, though, because they weigh a ton.
Cheers,
