I was looking at "The Torch" by WickedLasers which looks like a great light,
Yeah, a five minute effective runtime is great also.

Gee I wonder why it only gets 5 minutes

Wicked Lasers should stick to making just lasers. And they're lasers are good at best.
If your looking for something small, than the Torch shouldn't fall into your likings. At this point I don't know if your looking for an 18650 torch or a C or D cell torch, more details would help on what types of batteries you want to use, the size of the light, the modes, the emitter etc. For $200 you can get alot of quality lights, you just gotta be more specific. It seems that you want an incandescent light. If you don't mind doing a Maglite mod, try out some of the pelican Maglite mods. Or if you woulnd't mind using LED's I suggest a P7 3D Maglite; they're about the same size as the torch, and the runtime is actually practical.
