The CherryBomb is very good, but there's others in the price range that are gooder.
I have a 0.5 watt Cherrybomb. I bought it from the LBS and it was the best of the rest that I could afford from a limited selection. I actually prefer the flash to the seizure inducing PBSF/Radbot patterns. It's currently my only light (removed the rack and with it the 4D Toplight). My main beef is that it's like just about all other lights in it's price/performance class- it has to be properly aimed for max effectiveness, which I have difficulty doing on my own. That being said, I'm currently considering another one.
