If you only want it for macro, and not normal photography where you might want to use "bounce" flash which needs swivelling heads etc, you can pick up a cheap little Sunpak ETTL PZ42 series flash for around US$150 I think, cheaper used. My wife has one and it works a treat with the Lumiquest softbox. If I get a chance I'll take some pics with this setup and the Sigma 105 this weekend for you.
PS - I'm thinking about selling my beloved Canon 100mm macro lens. I have access to my wife's Siggy 105 and I'm thinking about getting the Sigma 150. I have the MP-E 65 for really high magnification.
