Unless you have a compelling reason to order from them, I wouldn't put too much effort into researching them. I don't mean to put their business down, but pricing on the lavas is fairly competitive among vendors, many of whom are reviewed on ECF. The new version of the LT will be out shortly, and it will accommodate both 18350 (mini) and 18650 (reg) size batteries in addition to having a higher amp cutoff (3.5 i think). The Tox Vision is similar to the LT and, if you haven't heard of it, is worth reading up on as well. I really wanted a LT, then a mini LT, then the tox, and am now waiting to see if the new LT addresses any of the issues some people had with the first run. So many options. The general feeling I get is that for the price, it probably will never be perfect, but it will be worth what you spend.
