Concerning top-heavyness, just about any flash is going to do that. I have the af330ftz as well as the 500 and the 330 makes even a monster like my pz1p flop over when I just have it hanging around my neck. My advice would be to stick with the 500. It gives you extra power and the ability to swivel the head. Those two options are things I personally could not live without anymore. :)
