But the ND filter effectively reduces the stop in terms of how much
flash you can lay in the shot. In daylight and with no walls or ceiling
to reflect some of the spill light back, it's hard enough to get a
useful amount of fill. High speed synch is important for anyone who
shoots outdoor portraits, birds, insect macro, etc.

Or an ND filter... :-)
Seriously, I do understand about fill flash etc, but 1/180 sec seems
quite fast enough for my needs. I remember when no SLR did better than
1/60 second max, and "high speed sync" didn't exist.
