It comes down to who wants the light. If you go to some random friend of yours and ask, "Would you spend $20 on a flashlight?" you know the responce is going to No, they will likely curse at you for your hobby. Most people think spending more than $10 is insance...if you are going to even have one at all. The Arc4 and soon Arc5 just has a wow factor. Its a extremly smart and high-tech flashlight. For how much I have already spent on Arc products, yea I will likely get an Arc5. You must simply want the light therefore get it... I think spending $250 on a flashlight is quite a bit, but there are more expensive lights out there, and I just want the Arc5... see what I mean? Also, it isnt going to have a charger, its not rechargable. But I suspect it will come with a few cells...the Arc4 does.
