I have a 1W Blaze and a front Flea. The Flea is bright,but does not have the throw of the Blaze. On the ground right in front of you it looks brighter because the 4 LED's in a row make a wider,more 'filled in' spot,but shine them out a ways and you'll see farther with the Blaze. Basically,the Blaze makes a better headlight,the Flea makes a better blinky. I do like the ease of mounting with the Flea. I put it on the front of one of my helmets with one of those PB rear blinkys with the pivoting helmet mount on the rear,so when I got bar hopping I don't have to pull lights off the bike when locking up.

One thing I don't like about the Flea is that when the battery drains it goes right from full bright to dim without warning. I wish it would gradually dim the way most lights do,so you'd notice it and know it's time to recharge. Twice I've been riding and had it crap out.

(sorry,no pics,my camera sucks)
