Two things: 1) Engearment just published their review of the Iota. check it out and let us know what you think. I think Dave from that site is on Massdrop pretty regularly, so he might be able to answer some questions. http://engearment.com/lighting/black-diamond-iota-headlamp/
2) I used this headlamp over the weekend and was truly impressed with how bright it can get. It's super light and I forgot I was wearing it. That, plus the reflective logo and text on the band makes me think BD was targeting runners as well. I usually only use a headlamp for a few minutes while camping and so I don't see the 2/40 hour burn time to be an issue - I would usually use it at half power for hiking or lowest power for around camp. With the rechargeable feature, I don't see any reason to carry my Revolt anymore - it just seems like overkill. I think this really hits the sweet spot of desirable features while being light and compact - right between the Ion and BD's larger headlamps.

DannyMilksHi!
I wanted to compare to the latest gen Ion and Spot, but both seem to have disappeared. Perhaps appropriated by the wife. I'm going to keep looking.
