Off-body flash

I'm looking for an off-body flash at the moment. I really don't think I can see the additional benefit/justify the additional cost of buying an official Nikon one so Yongnuo would seem to be the maker of choice. I've used a friend's YN-560 before and I know it's compatible with my camera and does the job. So the question seems to pretty much be which model? They have a bewildering array.

I think it's straight progression so YN-468 is the more recent YN-460, YN-565 is the latest rather than there being actual differences between the models. Obviously more features may have been added as the series progresses, performance improvements etc. but I would have thought that, since I would assume that my needs are fairly basic, one of the older models would be sufficient. Current price for a 560 on eBay is around the £55 mark. 460 mk.II is closer to £35 so unless I can really find something the 560 does that the 460 does not which I think would yield a particular benefit, I suppose that logically I should do for the cheaper one.
