Seatool's housings for the D200, rebel xti and soon to be released D300 housing all have dual optical ports. Also Nexus' housing for the D300 has dual fiber optics ports and offer TLL w/ Inon Z240 strobes. Sync cords are prone to floods and broken wires so this may be a good thing. Fiber optic cables are also lighter in weight and take up less room.

Do you think this is where all manufacturers are headed?

Do you think that this is a good thing?

I am going to take a real hard look at the Seatool housing for my D300. They are going to offer an adaptor to where you can use Subal ports with it.

I have no idea if they are the future, but it would be cool if they were. Cheaper and more reliable.
