I put these in factor when buying a light in this order : 1. Comfort ( meaning weight of light ) 2. Warranty 3. Brightness / beam ( halo ) 4. Customer service .

To me its all in the vendor reputation. If you select a vendor who is up to date in the light technology, the rest of the poll is already taken care of. you will get all the above when you select the right vendor.

You picked the light you wanted now what matters is the vendor reputation and how they stand by it. This is one of the reasons I like Boss Lights and http://conkeysoutdoors.com

Do you think comfort has more to do with weight, balance or fit

I consider everything you mentioned, and that's why I use a Boss light with Triple threat head. Above everything I want to deal with a stand up vendor and Bruce is that!

To me reputation, price, and brightness are the big things for me
