I don't think cavers will want to wear the battery pack on their belt, too much trouble with the cabling getting in the way. I have the Fenix HP10 and I don't think its any heavier than other lights, at least I didn't notice it. My helmet already has 2 backup lights, and a camera bracket on it, so its already heavier than most I think.
Neither of the Fenix headlight models have a built in diffuser, and I think that's where they are lacking. I like the light pattern on mine, the diffuser addon just rounded it out for when I need one.
