I'll second the motion on the Pro-T.  Heather and I both use them with
Quantum T4d flash heads, and they work great.  The only issue I have with it
is that it partially blocks the controls on the grip on my 20D, but they're
still accessible. But, unlike some of the other Stroboframes, it is oriented
in the right direction, the others have you holding the camera upside down
in relation to the grip controls.
It does keep the flash dead over the lens.
