Very even and bright pattern (never have complaints re blinding), multiple output levels, has helmet and bars mounts, and runs a long time. Some people have complained the light mount is too tight, but it's easier to get the light on and off after a few weeks of use.
Hmm...I went to REI last night and they had this light (charged) that I could turn on. Unfortunately, they didn't have a dark room that I could try it out in, and at this time of year it's still light at 9pm so I couldn't really try it out.
On the wall, the beam pattern looked focused like a flashlight for the 180 version (they didn't have the 250 version in their display case for some reason). It looked kinda to narrow and focused, but...who knows?
