Self-contained lights are so good now in terms of performance. I see a future of longer run times, lighter weights, and lower prices but that will strictly come down to battery technology.
Definitely notice the difference between L&M's Vis Pro 1000 and the Day Blazer in run time on high and also weight on the helmet. Weight matters even mounted to a full face and I think blazing double black trails trying to beat Strava is the only place riders are still going to need to spring for 'systems' with separate battery and lamp at this point in time.
If L&M can find a way to get the Seca Comp (previous Taz) down closer to the weight of the Vis Pro then I can't see myself buying anything other than that looking at what's on the market today.
