That said, the external flash is still desirable if it proves improved fill-flash with less red-eye. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

No one has used it --- it's not shipping. Leica's own website lists availability as February 2009, which is probably optimistic (ie, I'm still waiting on the D-Lux 4 handgrip, which I pre-ordered two months ago and was supposed to ship in November). That being said, it was developed specifically for the D-Lux 4, so lack of tilting head aside, should work about as well as any flash gun could on that camera.
