The 4sevens quark is ok, but has strobe n stuff. I believe they are hidden modes so it shouldnt be an issue. XP-G. 56 bucks.

The Fenix LD10 is a good one too for 56 bucks. XP-G, 6 output levels, no strobe n stuff.

Or, for a lot cheaper you could go with an itp A2 which isn't going to be as bright, but its 20 bucks. Twisty with 3 brightness levels. XP-E emitter though.
I gotta say: that jetbeam looks like it would work nicely too.

How about the very pocket friendly QMini AA. You won't see the blinkie modes unless you want to.

+1 on the BK135A. Great little light.

well they're a bit under your price point but the ITP A2 EOS and Maratec AA are both 3 mode with no blinkies I believe.
Quark mini AA is awesome, and the blinkies are hidden well enough to not be a problem imho. And you get to choose (until they sell out) between cool neutral and warm emitters. No idea about the o-rings.
The above are all twisty lights.
Zebrailght SC51 (also available in warm I think) looks pretty awesome. I had a LRI Proton Pro which is sorta similar but I'd prefer the modes of the zebra I think.
I haven't seen a jetbeam yet but that BK135 looks amazing. For a cheaper AA light with a similar interface (3 modes, programmable to whatever brightness/blinky) you could look at the Akoray K-106. It' definitely a budget light with a following, but I think it's only available on the slow boat from KD.
I've got a 3-mode solarforce L2R, 2xAA that I like quite a bit.
I'm still new - I know I'd love to see what you select, and if you like it when it shows up.

it has been quite a while I typed somethin pro Fenix, but ...
... You rule the LD out, because of the strobe/SOS?
even when it is not as "difficult" to get into these modes - as it is with the Quarks - You NEVER have to enter them.
... at least, when I still used my Fenixes, I never got into these modes, the same as now with the Quark mini.
if the possibility of strobe/SOS is the single reason You drop the LD, You are wrong on the UI.
