For a few bucks more, this one is pretty well balanced, and only gets adjusted maybe once a mile on chipseal, and a lot less on decent roads.

Huh? The light you linked to uses exactly the same mount with a heavier light head. Although I don't use the factory mount, most of these lights come with a variety of o-rings so that the tightness of the clamp can be adjusted.

And it's not like these lamps are any heavier or less well balanced than most other lights around.
