^ Well put.
You are not going to be after a Tech Pass that also requires doubles, a can light and TWO backup lights, along with a DSMB and spool (You should be carrying an SMB already).
I would only trade my Salvo 21watt HID, for an LED version, but see no need. It is my primary light and my 1,000 lumen light lives on my shoulder harness.
Many of the people saying no need for a flashlight let alone a bright light have no idea what cold dark water diving is like, or at least don't do it routinely. Warm water diver "Yeah vis sucked today it was only 25 feet". North Coast diver "Vis was awesome today we had 15 feet!"
Bill, you should stick with what you got for now, and get your own drysuit.
