Might have left mine at a function last night (doh)

no worries...
any ideas on cost... Might need to call them

Go 3rd party - the stofen omnibounce, still ridiculously expensive at $30-50 for a piece of white plastic. The nikon diffusion dome was probably modelled after the stofen anyways.

MHD,

Just throwing up another option. Have you heard of the Lightsphere II ?

Looks weird - slightly on the pricey side too at USD$39, but apparently from the reviews it gives really good results. I'm having a guy pick one up for me in a couple of weeks and post a review of the results.

Gooseberry, the shots on the web for the lightsphere look impressive, will be interested to hear your opinion
