Yeah I thought it looked quite good. Nothing in the Alp kit floated my boat.

As found on amazon question page:

Question: Hi is this rechargeable.
Answer: YES - rechargeable battery included also takes normal batteries, you won't be disappointed, a brilliant piece of kit.

So have you got one then Clive?

I was interested in how well the auto adjustment of the brightness works?

My old Lenser H7 is (still!) brilliant; I particularly like the variable brightness lever on the battery box, bright just when you need it, otherwise set to dim and a long long life off one set of batteries.
That new SEO7R looks nice, but I prefer the old brightness adjust lever rather than the 80's disco fever the "keep pushing the button" brightness select causes, but that could just be me 8-)

I can see the appeal of a dial. I'll have to take a look in the flesh and see what Petzl are offering.
