Brightstar Darkbuster to Salvo....
Hello all. I am currently diving with a 21 watt HID Brightstar Darkbuster which I love. However, being an unashamed dive kit tart who is shortly getting his (probably fairly crappy) bonus, I am thinking of blowing it on an umbilical.

I am thinking of lining Phil’s pocket yet again and getting a Salvo. However, the version in my price range at the mo is the 10 watt.

Will I be disappointed moving from a 21 watt HID Brightstar to a 10 watt Salvo? Should I wait and save a bit more to get the 21 watt Salvo? Or should I simply stop being a dive kit tart, get a life and find something else to blow my dosh on?

PS - I do mainly club type diving from a RIB but am doing Fundies in April.

Thanks All ( and thanks for the PM too which brought me to my senses ). I may spend the dosh on something more sensible. Like actually diving .
