I'm still kind of considering it, but I probably won't go for it since I already have 3 acceptable front lights and my budget is spent for a while.
Don't know about front lights, but my 4D Toplight rear requires a screwdriver and I think the PDW Radbot 1k does as well.
Otherwise, I've got mixed feelings about needing a screwdriver to swap batteries out. Biggest disadvantage I can think of is what happens should one drop the screw(s) while performing a swap mid-ride? I know with my vision, a tiny screw hits the ground at my feet, it might as well have fallen into a black hole.
