For $50 I would spend money on something a little more current. Novatac is out of business AFAIK and there will be no warranty support.I think the 120t is OK if you really want it but I still wouldn't buy it sight unseen. HDS and Novatac were together at one point hence the similar design but the majority of enthusiasts went to HDS. No personal experience with HDS or Novatac so maybe someone who has either will chime in. If you really like the HDS design it might be more worthwhile to save up and get that light.
