Probably pretty good, it will be manual only, but that may be better, depending on the location. Will probably be much slower to use because you will have to make more trial exposures to get it right. I like the idea of being able to turn one flash off and rotate the head. I think the unit Eric had was the R1.
The Sigma should work by TTL:

Which on paper suggests a couple of pop's and you should be there.
At £380 it seems much more costly than the older Nikon SB-21B unit on the various sites I checked, tending to run at £80 to £200 ish.
Checking prices out I just fell off my chair (metaphorically, I hasten to add). The SB-140 UV unit is basically a standard SB flash without the yellow coating on the flash tube, it can be carefully rubbed off to get the same effect. Take a look at this eye watering listing from a well known Westminster dealer:
I just noticed, it's Mint -, perhaps one of the pages in the instruction manual are 'dog eared'...
