For single TTL flash units, a ND filter is essentially useless, since the 
camera will try to pump more light through it to compensate. I believe all it 
will do is run your batteries down faster!

ND filters are useful for muli-flash TTL, where it alters the lighting ratio 
between individual units.

The key to altering the natural/flash ratio is to use your shutter speed to 
control the natural light exposure and your aperture to control the flash 
exposure.
