Sanyo Eneloops vs Alkaline in Speedlight?

 Other than the cost of replacing the alkaline batteries over and over again, are there any major performance differences between an Eneloop rechargeable battery and alkaline in your speedlight?

I have not done a true scientific comparison but I do notice it seems the Alkaline batteries last longer than the rechargeable batteries. So I carry two full sets of rechargeable batteries with me and Alkaline batteries as a back up.

The Sanyo do discharge faster, but not enough that I worry about it. I carry Lithiums as my backup for my flash. Just do not store your batteries in the flash, that doe not help either type.

Just buy them. Why anyone would use alkaline batteries in a flash is beyond me. So much money just being flushed away.
