Adrian,

You're right about needing flash to get a salable image.  When I'm doing PR
shots or a wedding or Bar Mitzvah, you need flash either for fill or as a main
light.  The TTL will be great for this.  I use a R7 or N****n F5 for certain
applications, and the TTL flash works great in fill flash mode.  R8 works
great this way too.
But then again, I have a customer who recently adopted a minimalist approach,
using an M6, 35, 50 and 90 and high speed B&W, no flash for a
"photojournalistic" style to shoot weddings and Bar Mitzvahs.  He charges
$8,000 a job for this, and is having to turn away customers.  Unbelievable!
