I do remember this was priced at $85 not long ago. Also, the X3 was still $69. This isn't a DD-esque pricing gimmick ;)
I'd say this has got to be one of the better SST-50 deals out there. OTR has proven to be a quality brand up there with the best of the budget lights and it's hard to beat at this price. If I was interested in 2x18650 lights I'd probably be all over this.
