I had the Fenix and do own the Romison. The Fenix was a better light for me, alas it was lost in a crash.
The Fenix was it seemed to be lighter, multi mode, I loved the strobe for commuting. Switching modes was quicker my guess is the switch type.
For the Romison side. More than HALF of the Fenix price, so you can get 2 and still be ahead of the game. Using the CR123 makes it a nice compact unit, but I use the AA's. They do rattle, but I fixed that with a thin business card to fill the gap. Crown is kinda nice incase you need to smack someone over the head. On the negative it has only one mode. There is a newer version option with a 2 mode switch, but I think the low is TOO weak. I haven't used it on my helmet but may yet do that this winter. Battery runs about 2 hours on the AA, perhaps longer but I turn it off when I don't need it.
Bottom line is if you need ONLY one mode the Romison is a winner.
