Hi Aladdin,
Whether the Asp is worth that money depends entirely on your needs and preferences. There are other excellent, cheaper lights out there like the Streamlight Scorpion and the Legend LX, but it really comes down to what you want.
You can use the "SEARCH" facility to look up any light, or member. I suggest you click SEARCH-BUCKY-"SUREFIRE 6P/6Z/M2/D2 vs THE STREAMLIGHT SCORPION". He gives a very nice overview of a number of 2X123A lights though he doesen't mention the Asp Taclite.
Below is my brief commentary on the Asp. I don't believe that many CPF memnbers are familiar with it, which is a pity. There is at least one other member who carries the Asp, and he is a very sophisticated user with an extensive tactical background. I hope that you hear from him as well. Please bear in mind that personal preference plays a major role in light selection. As you become a more knowledgeable flashaholic you'll not only become a better judge of lights; you will find yourself able to evaluate your own needs and preferences better than ever before.
Best of luck

The ASP TACLITE is unique, having an adjustable, "lockable" internal focusing mechanism, quite ingenious and easy to set. Once set it stays in that focus unless you change it. Because you can achieve an unusually tight focus (which I prefer), the light is remarkably bright; significantly brighter than any other 2 x 123A light that I have owned or tried, including the Surefire 6P and all the other 2 battery Surefires, the Tacm 3, the Galls H.A.L.O. Light (avoid this one!), the Streamlight Scorpion, the Brinkmann LX Legend, etc. Even though the focus is tighter, the light "splash" from the extreme brightness (at least when the battery is fresh) compensates for the narrowed beam diameter. Of course you can adjust the beam to a larger diameter if you choose.
I do not like the usual style of adjustable focus lights like the Scorpion, because they can go out of focus through rough or careless handling, or be previously set to a focus which is inappropriate for a sudden current situation. Beam quality of the Taclite, even if not quite of "Surefire quality" is still excellent, remarkably so for a small unfaceted reflector. The light is water resistant enough to survive strong rain or momentary dunking. It is very solidly constructed of aircraft aluminum with a user friendly foamed vinyl grip. It is easily "locked out" by a ½ counterclockwise turn of the bezel, and has a very smooth "clickie" tail cap switch.
This light is my preferred EDC incandescent. My preference for this light is in no way a repudiation of other first rate lights out there, especially the Surefires, which are probably the finest high-tech lights in the world. Their beam quality, and that of other faceted reflector lights like the LX Legend and the Streamlight Scorpion are unsurpassed. However, my preference in a 2x123A at this point happens to be for a tightly focused, long throw light. In that respect, the Asp Taclite is currently without peer.
