The T-45 is nothing but a set of two T-32 tubes/reflectors, with other
electronics of course. (sqrt(2)*32 = 45). But the T-series flashes
(not the F-280's) can be cascaded up to nine in number. Of course this
is only useful in studio-like situations.

Quantum and in particular Metz have very good systems. Metz will let
you work with TTL as well, although you will need special adapters
which work only with Olympus or another brand you buy them for.
