It looks like they produce less lumens than the Rigid duelly's and are the same price. Rigid is 1300 and the M&R are 1125 lumens with the Rigis being smaller. I too would like to see them compared in the field!!!
I am curious as to why you went with the M&R?

Why would you get these?? Really for the small ones it doesnt really make sense.
- less light ouput
- more current draw
- no selection (flood, spot, hybrid),
- twice the size
- less life span (30k hrs vs 50k hrs)
- no certifications
- less mounting options
- no weather proof connections
- made in china instead of US
- cheaper materials (Rigid are all aluminum and M & R have plastic end caps)
- lack of certified and tested optics
- Biggest thing, they are actually slightly more expensive than Rigid
I definatly understand your purchase of the larger LED bars, due to the big price difference. (I am tempted to get the 50" one myself). But for the small one it really doesnt make any sense.

I also have had a good experience with these guys purchasing the light bar prior to these. They worked with me on the already low price on the light bars and as a returning customer they gave me a great deal on these too. The buying experience goes along way with me. I got a great deal on my front/rear bumper so I got my side armor from the same people even tho it was ten bucks cheaper elsewhere. Tires and rims same thing.
