Here is a wild idea, put blue tooth in the flash and upgrade the ST-E2 to ST-E3 with blue tooth and add a-b-c grouping. Use off the shelf blue tooth chipset (lower cost), make an iphone/ipod touch app to set flash via blue tooth. No need for dip switches just pair the flash with you command device and don’t worry about other photogs triggering your flash. You could probably get 30 ft range easy which in most cases would be sufficient.
