I finally ordered a Rainer after Bob tried the head switch for me. The allure of the longer run time of a 17500 finally convinced me to try one.
The only other Peak mountains capable of putting out 400+ lumens are the Eiger X and the Vesuvius. The Eiger X has decent run time on a 10440, twice as long as a regular Eiger since it is direct drive. I never knew a boost circuit was such a drain until I talked with Bob.
Bob also said there will be a Volcan X with a new design and body compatibility capability but I think I'll wait until Bob or Curt says more. I will be interested in this new model once it is released.
