and you don't have to take the batteries out of the holder to charge them.....

Yes, but socalrider was lusting after a 2 light system with 3hrs runtime.

So, two of he DX lights will cost $160.
The Quad holder is about $65 (+pp) It runs two lights.
Two MTE SSC P7's from DX $60
4 18650's from DX $20
Lockblocks, about $16 shipped for a set of 3.
2 18650 chargers from DX, about $16

Total is about $177 (+ shipping on the holder) vs. $160 for 2 of the DX bike lights.

So, for a little more $$, you get better lights, better holder, and probably a better charger and batteries. Plus it's a lot more versatile, compact, cheaper to replace components, and it should have better runtime.
