I'm looking to compare the advertised 600 lumens Cygolite Trion600 LED Li-Ion (http://www.cygolite.com/products/new/Trion600/trion600.html), which looks new, to the Planet Bike Alias HID (http://ecom1.planetbike.com/3060.html).

They're both wireless, maybe similar output, and they have comparable run times on high and similar recharge times. The Cygolite is three LEDs (more durable than the HID bulb), and cheaper by $40, but its battery is apparently built-in -- don't know if it's replaceable.

Opinions welcome.
