Anybody recieved one yet.

I'm looking at replacing my simple torch on the helmet and was wondering if the new one is worth it over the old one. The simple o ring attachement of the old one may suit me better as I was thinking of alternating between bikes and my helmet.

opps missed this, Stumpy, that helmet mount link I posted above is for the old design magicshine units, is you need a new one you'll either have to hang onto until DX stocks them or buy one from spokebloke.
Jonb, it's worth bearing that in mind too, as the o-ring is ok but not exactly brilliant (I find it starts to slip round the bars when occasionally)

Luminous, no i've never had any issues with heat on the MS unit's, & mine has never had any.. would the re-design be for purely 'cost' of making the new shape vs the old (less machining required so cheaper?)

looks great, however has anyone tried mounting them with One One Mary's .

my old cateyes go boss eyed as the curve of the bars and the lack of swivel in the mount......

any thoughts

2 mode only, excellent means they've ditched the stupid flashing mode if the mount is up to scratch and the improved battery water resistance is good then I'm probably going to order one once my current Bastid dies, however I could well consider ordering from spokebloke seeing as he took the initiative and diddling him out of sales seems a tad unfair.... but that particular buying decision is a way off yet, does anyone know if the battery pack on it's own has an "SKU" No yet?
