Just get the best you can afford, imho. You would want as much power as you can afford with bounce flash, because you'd never know when it may come in handy.
I just bought an SB800 recently for my D40X and have loved it since. Still learning how to use it well but with a high-end flash like the SB800 (or even the SB900) you will almost never need to upgrade for as long as the flash stays functional.
I'm not sure how the D40X goes with the SB900 though, since it's bigger than the SB800 which already feels a little heavy on the D40X.

Actually, its a misconception. if you hold the 70-200 f2.8 lens on a D300 body...it will also be unbalance.
Just work with it. u will get used to it soon enough.
I am SB 400 and SB 800...although the latter is heavy...makes D40X kinda off balanced evn with my battery grip on..
how about a 500mm F4 and a D40... i think u'll break the D40 first. :bsmilie:
Pls Try it with some experience before commenting.
Have you seen the 500mm before?
Thats not even meant to be shot without at least a monopod. It would most prob break any camera if you pivot it at one end.. n D40 is just one of them..
Go with either the SB-800 or the SB-600. You won't go wrong with any of them. The SB-600 does 80+% of what the SB-800 does for about $200 less. Since they are clearing stock for the SB-800 as its discontinued, you might be able to get them at a much cheaper price.
Better for power is SB800,
Better for D40 shape is SB600,
Better to get newer one is SB900.
