I have the Storm an older version of Rage. Love it and have had no problem. If you plan to wear it on your helmet the lighter the bulb unit the better. I don't know what the cost is to go 100 grams lighter. I don't think you can go wrong with either. The local Park Police were impressed when I showed them the unit last summer and the light was visible on the path at 2 pm on a sunny day.

If you have any local bike clubs ask if anyone has one. If you're buying from a LBS they might have a customer that will show you the unit in use.
I bought mine when I was working in Aruba and was riding the rocks and beaches on my Hoo Koo E Koo. I was about two miles from the nearest light. With the Storm on it was like mid day.
One tip: don't mount the light at very front of the helmet. Mount in the middle of the helmet. That will balance the weigh better. Just play with it.
