Yea, you're right. Anyway, I guess my goal is better served to get a
unit that can diffuse the lights better to avoid the harsh front on
light. The Metz 54-MZ3 does seem appealing in that regard
nevertheless. I can shoemount it most of the time, and get a bracket
for certain stuff.
Other choices for good flash? Looking at the archive, the Metz comes
up a lot, although looks like the old "favoriate" Metz 40MZ has been
replaced by the 54-MZ.

I read an informative article with lots of pictures some time ago
that dealt with diffusers. They don't really work unless they are
really large and really close like umbrellas and light boxes. The
harshness is inversely dependant on the size of the light source and
directly dependant on the distance. Notwithstanding all the gadgets
for sale out there, unless you can bounce a lot of light off other
sources like ceilings and walls you are pretty much stuck.
