They both claim to use the same LED, which seems to be supported by the reviewers for the most part, so it's mostly the beam angle I'm wondering about. I'd like to be able to see about 20 meters ahead, and also be able to see whats a couple meters in front of me. I could use another small light I have for the close up though.

The specs list the Q5 LED (which is fairly current). It's hard to gauge how whatever beam pattern a light has is going to work in the real world. You really need comments from people who are actually using the lights you are interested in. (Socalrider appears to have experience with the focusable Romisen).

I think the manufacturers focus (get it?) on "throw", since that is what (appears to) impress people the most.
