How much smaller?
I replaced my aging 283s with Nikon SB80DX flashes a while back. Easily picked up for £50 or so, great auto settings and have a built in slave mode which is unbelievably useful for off-camera work

Cheers, probably smaller than that though. Difficult to tell without seeing it on the camera.
It’s for use with a Canon P with its slow sync speed of 1/55s, so I need it not to unbalance the camera. Also will be around my neck for extended periods, so smaller/lighter the better.
I do have a Nikon SB800, but that unbalances and extends over the rear of the camera a smidge making it awkward to look through the viewfinder.
I also have access to a Sunpak on a bracket, which I can’t use due to the location of the P’s tripod socket. Not sure I want to be carrying around something like that for extended periods either
I guess what I’m after is something like the dedicated flashes you used to get for aperture priority cameras in the 80s, but can run a pc sync cable

After recommendations for a flash.
Shoe mount, PC Synch, Non-TTL Auto (with a least of couple of aperture settings), range at the highest setting 25ft or greater.
Don't need bounce and want it to be reasonably compact (smaller than a Vivitar 283).
Any ideas ?
