I agree. Personally I'd get the Gerber Ultra Infinity (CMG sold to Gerber) and I'd get the Fenix L2T v2.0 RB80. The L2T only has two modes, 15 lumens and 140 lumens, but it uses the Rebel LED, I like mine. If you like lots of modes, go with the Fenix L2D RB80 or the Fenix L2D CE. Both the L2T and L2D Fenix lights are 2xAA lights, keep it in your vest. Keep the 1xAA Gerber in your pocket. The Gerber has a good flood like beam for close work, the Fenix lights will reach further. Edit: Just did an informal side-by-side comparison and found the Gerber Ultra Infinity and L2T V2.0 had virtually the same beam shape, that is a hotspot in the middle surrounded by a large spill area, the L2T was brighter, but it has two new batteries and the Gerber battery needs to be changed (later, it's fine for my needs).

Based on that experiment and the multiple output modes of the Fenix L1D CE, the 1xAA Fenix is a better light if you only buy one. . . although at less than half the price of the Fenix lights, the Gerber is a great value. I'll stay with my original thought, buy the 1xAA Gerber and a 2xAA Fenix (your choice of the three link'd).

Just an observation, but did you notice that the L1D lights Turbo mode only goes to 90 Lumens while the L2D lights go to 140? Looks to me like there's a limit on how much power the light can pull from a single AA battery; the L2D and L2T lights can pull more juice. Considering they're only $1 more, the L2D/T lights seem to be a better value than their L1D/T counterparts. $.02

Note: I have the Gerber Ultra Infinity as a mobile night light at home, a Fenix L2D CE is in my walking kit and a Fenix L2T v2.0 RB80 is in my flight jacket. I also have a small 1xAAA Peak Matterhorn in my pocket. For your trip stay with AA batteries. Buy a supply of NiMH rechargeables and a small solar battery charger.
