Pair of the higher-end Magicshines and spend the rest on hookers and blow. (one MJ-872 will match a Maxx-D as well as being helmet-mountable, two will blow it away)

I'd choose 2 lights over one any day, if money allowed I'd have a troutlite mind, they're ace... But 2 lights is better.

You should check out Golddiggers Tripple cute light on the 'DIY lights' mtbr forum. Same workings as (2700 lumen!) Trouties dominater but better shell imo and works out well over £100 cheaper. Great bloke, great service also anodised the lights himself any colour you wish. I got the endurance battery and charger from smudge (mtbbaterries) same as what comes with Trouties. Worked out at around £230 all in.

I use the Light and Motion Seca 1400 which won the lights test in the last 2 years MBR (or MBUK).
I haven't compared it to the 6 pack though.

Hmmm I like northwinds ideas in life but

Back to the question

I use a DX P7 Bastid on the bars nice and floody and a XML v2 from mtbbatties with lots of throw

I was out on wednesday using this combo and my mates had a hope R4 and a exposure MaXx both were impressed with my setup especially at about £120

And it will still leave a bit of dosh for "hookers and Blow"
