But what alternatives are there? I want a flash that has a bounce

wires in the world, a TTL 0.6m, TTL2m, TTL auto-connector ($90 or so).

I have a pair of T-32's, a T-20 and a BG-2 with a few of the cords. All
have been quite reliable. If you're not entirely happy with the "T"
flashes, look into the Metz line. They have GN 32 and GN 40 flash heads
(the 40 series is about half-way between a 32 and 45). They're generic
with an SCA-301 foot. The SCA-321 foot is for the Olympus OM bodies and
allows full TTL-Auto control. Metz also has a grip that works much like
the BG-2 (except AFIK it cannot trigger a motor drive or
winder). Comparatively, a full Metz setup will cost you significantly more
than the "T" series, at least 150 0f not 200%.
