It is nice to have the extra flash, and the 580 is more powerful and much better built then the 430s. So you might find yourself using it more of the time if you were to go that route, however there's no denying the savings of just getting the infrared trigger only.
I like off camera flash appearance, on camera is nice with a bounce. The added bonus of the soft reflector on the 580 or 600 really can add some nice light to a picture. The 600 also comes with a gel holder and a yellow gel.
