Many places like Lowes, Radio Shack, and Home Depot carry ~200 lumen AA flashlights. If I was being careful with money and didn't want to wait for DX I would get one of those high intensity lights that they keep by the checkout counter, some rechargeable AA's and a charger.
Some folks may differ, but anymore I hardly ever ride with my lights on high mode. Medium works fine and my batteries last much longer between charges.
Get a PBSF for the back. DX has a high intensity red flashlight for $10, but some people say it has no side spill, which could be a problem in heavy traffic. Also, it takes 18650's. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ultrafi...2-cr123a-20333 Mine has been nothing but a joy and it works well on rural roads with cars coming up behind.
I got lights for now but I like the idea of multi rear lights. The SuperFlash rear is pretty bright and strobes like mad - pretty hard to ignore. Strapping another one to my helmet would make them impossible to ignore.

Thanks for the suggestions.
