Dennis - no need to change the settings on the flash itself. As you say, you can do it all while still looking through camera viewfinder. There's a FEC button on top of the 40D, you can hit that with your right index finger, turn the dial and see the result in the viewfinder's meter, then hit the FEC button again or half-press the shutter button to go back to shooting mode. All without looking away from the viewfinder.
I know the MR-14 has built-in diffusers, but believe they're too close to flash lamp or something and result in fairly harsh light still.
Don't fix anything direct to the front of the flash, only the black parts around the side. As Dave intimated, flashes get hot really quick and will melt stuff.
