being able to drop the light into the charger any way up is great, but there is a downside (and an upside to having to orient a light in the charger the right way)
when you grab a magcharger out of its cradle (which is very secure, probably the one i would trust most for an in car light) the switch could be anywhere, whereas every other cradle light i have (SL Ultrastinger, Pelican M11 and Inova T4) all have the switch in the same location every time you pick it out of the cradle
it might be slightly more irritating to drop into the charger, but works a bit better when you need light right NOW
most people would probably drop the magcharger into the cradle with the switch up anyway (although the cradle will protect the switch from accidental activation)
(i would include the strion in this, but its switch is at the back, and easy to find)
the magcharger is a good solid light though, i have one that i bought new, with charger and everything, and a second one i picked up, body only from a pawnshop for a bargain price, its waiting for me to decide what to do with it, i will probably get some brighter bulbs, and put a new batt stick in it
