Rogue Flash Bender

Playing with my new flash and reading around the subject of flash photography I understand the need/desire to direct the flash in different directions to achieve the goals you are looking for. Be that a diffuser or a piece of black card taped to your flash. With that in mind and wanting a reusable solution I saw the Rogue Flash Bender.
Does anybody have one? What are your thoughts? Do I really need one?
Thanks
Lee

My only problem is the weight is a bit much for my SB-600, and won't stay in place once I start moving the camera around. When it's still, however, things are fine.

I have the Honl version but I only use it for studio work to illuminate the background or use it as hair highlight.

Thanks all, I can see one arriving on the doorstep soon.
Joe had seen your photos on Flickr, one of the reasons I asked on here if anybody else was using one.

I have the small Flashbender and I really like it. I do not use it often, but when I need it, it is nice to have it handy..

I have used it formed to a snoot to direct light, as a deflector to keep light spill away from where it is not wanted etc.

No complaints other than pricey... (may make a couple like jacks!) :) I do not regret my purchase and there were videos on youtube I think showing applications ...
