Seriously though, they work fine, as long as you stay out of direct (bright) sunlight. I've even managed to get mine to trigger a flash inside a Westcott Apollo softbox

Well, I'm not so sure, it'll depend on the placement of your speedlight/s. It's IR-based so you need direct line of sight and anyone walking/dancing between you and the lights will probably block the signal, bright lights/flashing strobes etc will also cause it problems...

What are/were you planning to use the SU-800 for? Would you have the lights off-camera, but in your hand, or would the be set-up on (say) stands around the venue?

Can't you just slave off the camera's pop-up flash in commander mode?

Yes, it is, remember with either that or the SU-800 the receiver on the speedlight is on the right hand side, meaning you either need to hold the flash in your left hand or spin the head round if using it right handed.

Just to make sure the remote gun gets a decent 'look' at the pop-up's commander signals, maybe put a little diffuser on it of some sort (tissue?) or a bit of card/BluTack to direct the flash towards your left hand. Turn the remote's receiver towards the camera. Should work fine at close range like that, in almost any situation.
