I have your same rig, along with both the 280T and the AF500FTZ. You can use the 280T with both bodies, but the AF500 only with the PZ1P. The 500 is a bit less rugged, twice I've cracked the decorative bezel (the one around the face of the flash head, it's quite delicate) that I've had to repair with ABS cement (works great, the cracks all but disappear). I use my gear lightly, not for weddings or any other commercial work. If you have the flash adapters for the 280T you have almost a functional equivalent for the 500, aside from the greater power. I just leave the wide adapter on my 280 all the time. I have been able to use the 280T on a body and use the 500 fired on the side, triggered by the flash detection feature of the 500, a nice feature.
