I currently have a Myo Xp enroute to my house. I have been doing a lot of research after I ordered it and it seems the Princeton Apex is voted as being a better headlamp. Today I went to REI and checked out the Myo Xp and the Apex. For some reason I thought that if you hit the boost button on the Xp you would get 20 seconds of 3 watt light. I later found out that you must hold the boost down for that amount, which doesn't excite me. I am a fly fisherman so I don't always need the high light, so hitting a boost button sounded great. I would have been able to cast with ample light and it would turn off by itself. That all came crashing down on me, and that option seemed to be what tipped me to go with the Xp.
My question is, how much better is the Princeton Apex vs the Myo Xp? I know the Myo is water resistant, as opposed to the Apex IPX7 standard. The Myo did have a funky rubber shield over the batteries, didn't feel to safe with that since I am not always running out on clear days.
Does the Apex put out more light with it being regulated compared to the Xp? I plan on using NiMh batteries to power the lights no matter what I end up with. After playing with the Xp it seems really lite. If anyone could throw some pros and cons at me it would be much appreciated.
