Off Camera Lighting

The siren song of off camera lighting is calling me.  I already have a cheap flash and a Catus v2, but I would like to be able to play with at least two off camera flashes.  I just read over on Strobist that RadioPopper came out with some new technology.  The product that caught my eye is the  JrX receiver and transmitter.  I think this combined with some Vivtar 285 HV Flashes are what I need to get started. 

If I read this article correctly, I can get by with 2 Vivitars, a  JrXTransmitter, JrX Receiver, and Wein Peanut Micro Slave and I should be all set.  Maybe throw in a couple of light stands.  The whole shootin' match should run me around $300, which is about the same price as a single Canon 580 EX.
