Best 10 bucks you will spend.
I tried the Orions this morning. I know that it needs to be cycled a few times, but the initial run was unimpressive. The eneloops (I have the new Panasonic ones) have much higher output and longer run time.
Hope this improves as I have another set of Orions coming in this week for my TS020...
