I meant to say that the FX-2 is NOT fresh out, of the box. Just that, like me, it hasn't been in any tough caves in a decade or so!

But you can also borrow my FX-2, Mal, of the type Stefan likes. It's fresh out of the box and untried like the Sten. I bet it even still has some traces of NM cave mud since it hasn't been underground since before decon started.

It's nice to see lively discussion on Cavetex...it's been eerily quiet since David left. I currently have a Princeton Apex Tec, which is nice, especially for the price, but I think it's time for a brighter light. Roger Moore has very generously offered to loan me his new Sten until I upgrade, but I wanted to start getting opinions because discussing gear is so fun. :) I've seen several cavers with the Duo, so thanks for the insight. Waterproof is important for me, since I don't want to have to switch out lights between water and dry caves. I think my current plan is to go ahead and save up for a Sten, unless I see a Petzl Duo on some sort of super-sale somewhere. -Mallory
