Never used a Sigma flash but I have the Canon 430ex and it's great. Powerfull and gets some excellent shots!
Has a really good flash head that you can tilt in any direction for bouncing the light off celings and walls.
Also get rechargable batteries with it, I have 2500s which will literally last for a whole week (being used for a few hundred photos every day) and won't even run out!
I'v also used the 580ex wich is excellent, has some great new features compared to the 430ex and is more powerfull.

I just got rid of a sigma and upgraded to the 430ex - that was with the 350D, SO GLAD I DID.
Main problem was the high speed - on the canon flash it remember the setting, on the sigma it forgets it all the time. My advice Canon everytime now. (One Stop Digital)

100% agree. Get the Canon.
Thanks for your help guys.
In the end I bought the EOS40D with 17-85 lens and an EX580 Mk2 from Park Cameras for £1148 less cashback £105 =£1043, which I reckon is a good deal!
Anyway its early days but it all seems awesome kit!
