I have a backup tracer and am about to purchase either a backup trace or a joystick and relegate my trace to back up duties.
@iltmimi, I make my light choices for practical reasons.
Flashing lights attract the attention, but are difficult to judge speed and distance (try playing catch with a flashing light in the dark), constant light is easier to ignore, but also easier to judge.
The flare pulse is the best of both worlds, getting attention and being constantly on.
The fact the battery lasts longer that way is a plus.
Constantly on is really only a good idea if you need the light to see by.

@Khornight2 I was more oriented to the Flare because of the possibility of using normal batteries in emergency but they look rather ugly compared the Trace, especially the rear one. I also had a look to the cateye rapid x2 but they seem to be unavailable in UK, well the front one at least...
