Got my new SB900 to replace my older SB800 (saves a fifth battery and gives me another backup).

the new one is huuuuuuuuggge. As big as the canon one (in fact slight bigger head!)

Can't wait to try it out (sad i know! :) )
Update - Just for Rob ;-)

Pros/Cons:

• After having used it in anger for a while now here's some pro's and cons.
  
• The remote master switch is much better than on the old sb800
  
• T like not having to worry about a stupid 5th battery - (no-one sells them in 5's - so you need to buy 8 and have 3 "wasted" ones)
  
• Battery door is still poor though compared to the 580EX2
  
• Menu is better than before - no cryptic custom functions like on canon
  
• It's a PITA that the camera can't set the stuff via the camera - all the canons one can - irrespective of if they have a builtin flash or not
  

Oh and recycle time/TTL accuracy/WB is fine ;)
Zoom is a better 18-200 so it works better for those wide angles
