[OM] F280 vs 3rd party Fill Flash

I'm waiting on my F280 manual to arrive from Olympus, but in the
meantime, maybe someone can tell me the difference between a synced
F280 flash at, say, 1/250 and my 3rd party (Kalimar) 1/16 fill flash
at the same speed? Presumably, since there's enough light for the
camera to be shooting at 1/250, both flashes are fulfilling the same
function, right? And either way, my Om-4T will be using its OTF
metering and close the shutter when enough light has registered,
right?

On another note, I've gotten so comfortable with my tilting flash
head that the F280's fixed angle head is a decided handicap. I wish
Olympus had designed their flash with a tilt head.
