Can I suggest that this unit is useful with the MT24 EX http://www.amazon.com/YongNuo-External-Battery-SF-18-Batteries/dp/B003JEU83I especially when hand holding. The number of times I've shot off a few exposures only to find they are black because the flash hasn't fired.
The MT24 EX is an old design and after a full power discharge it can take up to 10 seconds to recharge depending on the batteries, the SF18 battery pack can reduce this by more than half. When using less power there is normally no lost shots waiting for the flash to recharge.
Depending on your own quality standards you might find that as little as 1 in ten shots are worth keeping, macro tends to have a much higher failure rate than ordinary photography hence the need for lots of shots. (this applies mainly to hand held with flash).
