DealExtreme now lists two flavors of 12w 18650-powered U2 style lights...

Vika, which uses a Luxeon III LED:

and Nero, which runs a K2 LED:

The K2 is new, they used to have a K2 18650, but it turned out it was really made for 2x 123's, and the 18650's were coming with Lux III's... now they have a true K2 LED.

Price is pretty much the same... any thoughts?? Also, would I be better off with the 2x 123?
