The biggest advantage that I know is that it can act as an optical master, and can control a and b groups of slaves (the 430 can act as a slave). They also both have hotshoe hookups, but only the 580 has the pc sync cable, afaik.

I own both, and while I'm sure there are various features I am missing, I never notice those differences because i always use remote triggers and shoot in manual.
