cheapo,
As always, that depends! Are you going to use this light every day for an hour or two or use it once a week for a few minutes? What is the maximum size you can handle as well as run time? Will you use rechargable batteries or want the unit with the pack built in?
The Q-III and Inova T3 would fit your budget, I saw a T2 in action and it is a really nice light! If a maxiumum output rechargable eye fryer is what you want, the upcoming Inova T4 uses a rechargable lithium-ion pack and should throw some serious lumens.
I just wish I knew when the T4 is coming out, first October 2004, then January 2005 then....
