The Zebralights only use one AA, and batteries are on the front. Besides that, the best output I could find for the AA lights is 300 lm. For a few more $ and an investment in some rechargeable 18650 batteries, you can get over 1000 lm of light output, and a very lightweight light.
I understand the idea of wanting the batteries on the back, since it helps to balance the weight on your head. But with a Zebra with one 18650 battery, the weight is so little you hardly notice it.
Even if you don't use the rechargeable batteries that often, they are still a good investment. As far as I know, they keep perfectly well even if you don't use them that often.
In my opinion, the Zebra H600 MK II is the best headlight for the money. It's a matter of personal preference whether you get the spot or flood version. Same thing with the neutral vs. the cool white.

can the light be easily rotated up and down?

why is Stenlight high output only 140?
the other lights recommended are 200-500 lumens
