That's because all the 3rd party flash implement P-TTL compatibility by reverse engineering. So they could only find out current implementation as used by existing models. When a new model comes out using a previously unused function, the flash will not work correctly.
So for best bang for the buck, you can't argue against 3rd party flash. But for best compatibility for current *and* future models, 360FGZ and 540FGZ are the better choice.
