  2. digital slave TTL through fiber optic cable
  3. 105° with diffuser
  4. 13 step manual
  5. LED target light
  6. fiber optic and "hotshoe" cable

uwdigitalcamera.com offers this strobe for about 420AUD plus 60AUD for an fiber optic cable. including shipping to australia it should be around 500AUD. Sea & sea and Inon use similar systems (same nikonos 5pin type of TTL cables for example).

comparison with inon Z240 (price includes all necessary fittings, optic cable plus strobe arm connector and rough estimate on shipping at 40AUD. prices from uwdigitalcamera.com)

hard to choose between the sea&sea YS110 and Inon D2000S as a second strobe to the inon Z240. there are some sources on the net that claim the sea&sea requires 3s recycle time. in which case the inon would be the better choice.
