There is a much larger choice of strobes these days. Some are much larger than the previous models of a decade ago. The newer models can have C batteries and much larger Xenon flash bulbs that have a much higher output that can be seen for miles above water.
I thought the same thing, but I took it to 510meters and it did just fine.
Seriously I think $120, but we dive in a dark lake, helps us know when the floor is coming up so we put on the brakes and avoid a silt out mess. It outshines the OMS, and I like the switch action, worth the cash. Someone told me, this is the Coast Gaurd's prefered strobe.

Where do you connect this? I have seen some attach them to their 1st stage and turn it on for the entire dive. I have seen others attach them to their BC's and only use them in an emergency.
Looks like a GREAT safety item and a great item for black water diving.
