Canon got the flashes right may years ago, so I am not sure why you think otherwise. The Canon 550ex is a great flash, the 580ex is better.
The 580ex II means weather sealing...this is something that all Canon flashes to date had missing...something that has perplexed me for a long time.
There is this superstition going around the internet that Canon flash logic is problemmatic...this is a myth...it works great, every single weekend that I shoot weddings...it is right on and if not, it is user (me) error, and not my kit.
E-TTL2 is fantastic. Nikon long ago stopped being the preferred flash system....these days both systems are fantastic.
