I can say the Spot-R is useless, got one brand new and actually never got to use it as the button system only lasted about one use and it went bananas after that. I won it as a prize so BD wouldn't change it and wouldn't fix it, so I bin it. 

Mine seems OK, I like the ability to have a dimmer spot or flood to walk/run, but can tap it to jump to full power for tricky bits.

Being able to charge it from a battery pack while being used also helps with burntime worries.

The light memory is great, as is the ability to fix it to bag straps etc.
