Flash for nex 7?

MacroPhotoFly

I've been loving using my nex 7 around town when I don't want to lug my FF 5d2 plus L lenses. The 24mm Zeiss on the Sony is fabulous for people shots, but I'm somewhat confused which flash to get for when I snap inside. In canon terms I'd like something around the 430 power and functionality (I have the 430 and 580). Anyone out there with a 7 and experience of what flash works well on the camera?

The Sony HVL-F43AM appears to be the most like the Canon 430EX. ADI feature is very similar to Canon's E-TTL II in power output control.

The Sony store lists it as compatible with the NEX-7:
