The Rupes is "Smoother", but only works on flat surfaces

Yes, but the Rupes comes with a ball cap, undergarment, and an apron.

Couldn't an LED Mag lite or even the led on my iPhone work just the same? I think so

Too bad the full specs are not listed. I started using a cree XML2-u3 led chip running on 18650 li-ion batteries. Puts out 1300 China lumens or about 600 real lumens. This new one looks nice but without knowing what's under the hood, it's hard to know what it's really worth! The only info they give is 3 watts... so probably an older cree q3 or q5 chip good for 150-230 lumens max... just a guess
