$12.99 + 2*$7.95 + S/H << $60

USB charging is a nice feature, but if it dies out on the road you're stuck. For my front I have a spare 18650 battery to swap in. My rear blinkie is a cygolite hotshot, that's USB chargeable but it needs charging less than monthly, and it lets me know when it wants charging when I turn it off, and I have a couple days grace to get it done.
