Run time for me is usually 2-2 1/2 hours if I run it at 300 and just bump it to the full 400 as needed. I carry a spare battery with me, which I have only needed once in a great while. They can often be found on sale for under $100 and buying an extra battery will only add $30 to the cost. They also offer a very nice helmet mount for this series.
I just had a look at Performance, and they have the Pace 750 on sale now for $110, plus an addtional 20% discount, which brings it down to the same $89 I paid for my 400 lumen model.

Thanks for the link. I'm going to add that light to the list of candidates.
