I've been considering Lencarta Safari Li-on priced at £1k for twin kit, used it couple of times and it's pretty darn good. It has it's drawbacks such as fixed 2:1 ratio and no autodump but at this price I don't think it's an issue.

Here's a thread on the Vagabond Mini Lithium that should answer your questions.

It must be a decent kit if they can survive in such a crowded market with only U.K. distribution.

Let us know what you think of it once you've used it a while.

Vagabond Mini AND Tronix Explorer Mini/1200. For the price, go for the Vagabond mini. For compatibility and power(?), go for Explorer Mini/1200.

Have you decided what to get?
