Is it worth fitting a diffuser.
I have taken some great indoor photo's with it.

If you're only shooting indoors and you've got a nice big white ceiling to bounce off, then you're probably ok. The diffusers are more useful when you get your flash off-camera and want to great a softer feel to the light (although they dont beat a brolly or a soft box - remember the bigger the light sources area = the softer the light)
It's worth considering an 80/20 attachment (I think lumiquest and a few others make them) basically it lets 80% of the light go upwards for bounce, and directs 20% at the subject for a nice catchlight. I've heard a lit of people swear by them, but don't have a lot of experience with them myself.

I might not bother with my SB400.
However, if the SB900 turns up I will have a play.
Are these the diffusers http://www.lumiquest.com/products.htm you were talking about.
Thanks

Looking at an SB600 or 900 myself and spotted a snapper at a wedding with this - I have a thread hereclicky seems it may have been a Gary Fong Lightsphere - not 100% sure But there is lots on utube about them - and it seems there is a seller selling them in the classified section of this forum - not Gary Fong Lightsphere branded ones *** it would seem
Maybe worth a look

Lumiquest Quik Bounce is the one on the link - does 80/20 bounce/fill (similar to Stofen) and also does slightly softened fill without a ceiling (as it's bigger than the bare flash or Stofen). It also works in vertical orientation too.
Most versatile on-flash attachment you can get IMHO, and more efficient as it doesn't waste light behind like light the Fong does.
