Out of curiosity, do you use the MT-24EX "bare" or with any diffusers? I find that the lighting is somewhat harsh with a 100 mm macro on full frame, so I usually improvise with some paper and gaffer tape as impromptu soft boxes. The weight balance and portability of the set up is fantastic though.
Dave - pity you couldn't have joined us - the more the merrier. Perhaps next time? Troy let me use his MT-24EX, and yes, he uses diffusers on it. I didn't use the flash without them, so I can't comment on how hard/harsh the lighting is without them, but I presume if it's like any other flash units, it does make a difference.

Dave
