Just FYI, Mag is coming out with LED heads which will have the full style and function of their incandescent bulbs (adjustable beam, supposedly good throw, etc) so you'll want to keep an eye out for those as well.

Although it's only 1AA long instead of the 2 you seek, I really like the CMG Infinity Ultra (you can still pick up the pre-Gerber buyout style in places). Gerber added an end-cap, but either way, it's a great light. With an alkaline it's got 100Hr. runtime and I use Li AA which runs better in the cold and last a lot longer. Small, compact, rugged and bright. And about $20 or so. It's hard to go wrong for that price.
