If you are primarily doing daytime riding and it's a be seen light, this may not be the best option. On the other hand if there's any chance you'll be doing any night riding at all (get an L2D and you'll want to) get the Fenix.
Many of us get a 2nd one after we see how cool they are!
Thanks all for the input. Actually, I believe I'm already covered on the little extra expense. I already have a
LaCrosse BC900 charger which is one reason I wanted to stay with an AA battery device. I assume NiMH batteries do good in these type of lights?
Edit: I had to cut short my ride tonight because of a lack of light. I recently began riding with a group and we typically finish around 8pm. Ran a bit late tonight and would have been pushing 9pm getting home, but I cut it short due to the lack of a headlight. Time to pull the trigger.
