BTW did you ever own the old version? I am on the fence whether to upgrade it or not.

[edit]

Also, the reasons why I went with the Dinotte light.

1. Small- takes up little space on my handlebars.
2. Mount- The mount is simple and makes taking the light on and off a breeze. Maybe 20sec and nothing is left behind
3. AA batteries- This is a biggie. In the fall/winter my commute is 2 hours each way in the dark. I can get that out of this light. AA rechargables are cheap, so I have a second set charging at work. And I carry a spare set with me for emergencies. With a lighting system that uses a proprietary battery I would have to get one that had at least 5 hours life to feel safe that it would make it on the round trip, or invest in a second charger.

Didn't have the original Ultra 5- I was using a 10W halogen prior to this one. From what I understand, there is less flood, and the beam is much more focused on the 200L than the 5..that and quite a few more lumens. I think the 5 had around 120 lumens, but the 200 has, well, 200.
