I think this is an inherent flaw in the idea that the light is the 
ditcheable weight.  If you don't have ditcheable weight, fine, I 
don't care, I don't want to argue about that.  However, if you feel 
that you need to have ditcheable weight, then making it the single 
most expensive piece of equipment you own is not a great idea.  The 
time when you need to ditch is not the time to pussyfoot around 
because you think you might be able to make it.  I think you'll do a 
lot more of that, if your ditcheable weight is an $800 HID light, 
then if it's a $20 weight belt.

Anyway, that's just how I feel about it, I know that it's DIR to do 
it this way, and saying anything against DIR is likely to get you 
roasted to a crisp, but this has been bothering me for some time now, 
so I thought it was worth mentioning.

Cheers,
