I know from seeing it in person that the Cyo Premium uses the 2 led's on the bottom as it's standlight, not the main light like the older model did.

The Schmidt Edelux uses the main light as it's standlight, but it's not great because I think the standlight was designed for smaller led's giving the Schmidt a much shorter standlight time.

I don't really know, it looked the same size plus a little extra for the external standlight led's, but I haven't compared them side by side. I know it's nowhere near the huge size of the...I'm forgetting the name, the one with usb charging built in. That thing was like the size of a coffee cup in person lol.
