You can get a V10A from HKe for cheaper than the AA light offered there, and even though the machining looks clean on the AA light, its pretty ugly (IMO) to have the "IP57" rating machined into the body in that font..... Hmmmm.... to say these DX lights are overpriced for what is pictured is a significant understatement!
Some of them are really nice looking but those damned tailcaps have to go. all i see is a baboon's pink ass with his sphincter right in the middle. If you own a cat (unfortunately I do) it also reminds me of a cat's butt. Could just be me though, I would be the first to tell you I am a little strange. :P

I have a cat. I can't say I look at its butt that often but I can see what you mean!
One hundred and eighty one bucks get's you big words and web addresses embossed all over the light? Oh, and two threads to hold the tailcap on? No thank you.
181.82 for a AA ?? what exactly are you getting for that , water proof to 200m ??? it doesnt even says on their web site. they prolly made a couple thinking some sucker will bite. i prefer my several hundred dollar torch be made of gold or some other exotic material.
although the dual xml is pretty sweet - i have to make one like that
It is 238$ for a bike light with a very basic (unexpensive) mounting braket that could not be used on a bicycle bar because a "T" mounting bracket is usually needed.
On the other side, the mounting bracket looks like that it could only be tightened on the fins of the head...they need to do their homework to optimize their light to justify such a price...neh ?!!
