Thanks guys for all the info. I ended up with a "solid brass" AA from a chinese site and also a stainless steel DQG as I couldn't decide which to get! I'll pop some pics up later but really impressed with the cheapo brass at only £8 seemed a bargain nearly bought a copper maratac (which I still want) but the wife would of shouted!..
I have the copper Maratac, it's a good little torch, slightly smaller than the cheapy from Amazon, having said that it's not as bright as the cheapy from Amazon or the little AAA that I own.
