Got a voucher for Evans and going to get a Joystick to use on the commuter and as a head-torch off road (to supplement my Enduro).
Have considered the 'cheaper' torches but like Exposures support / 2 yr guarantee, the smart port etc plus I've already got 4 brackets on 4 bikes:
So, should I go for the 'old'
Maxx-2 £116
Seoul 240 Lumen
Or the new
Mk 5 £ 140
Cree XPG 300 lumens
£24 for an extra 60 lumens.....
Is run time improved or the same? I'd be tempted to stump up the extra for the newer model.
Quoted run time on both 3hr / 10hr / 24hr...
Slight Q: where are those prices from?

Current Evans prices but gets complicated - I've a voucher that gets me either 15% off the new or 10% off the old

i have just sold an 09 one and am getting a Mk5 tomorrow, which I ordered a week ago. it is a fair bit brighter and teh beam pattern is slightly better on the lid. The RRP for the Mk 5 with helmet mount is £165
AA - gotcha. Cheers.
I have just got a mk5 and my mate has a maxx2,mk5 is definetly brighter and has a better beam pattern, i'm impressed with mine!

Better as in spread? I'm more after a narrow directed beam - the Enduro I have is wide, gets me into trouble commuting on the Bristol Bath Railway Path as even on lowest setting pointed down I get accused of blinding on coming riders..
Its a better head light, beam is brighter and quite foused compared to the maxx.
Cheers 
Nice one sounds good, looking forward to getting my one now
