So, would prefer:
- 2xC battery (lots of lights with 3xC)
- Very tight beam
- Twist to activate, solid
- Cheapish

Alternatives seem to be:

Heser Backup Short
- 4W led
- 365g, 170mm x 37-48mm
- Good quality, 200m depth
- 200eur

Halcyon Scout Mini 2xC
- 180g, 200mm x 35-45mm
- 3 hour burn time
- 230eur

Any other alternatives that I am missing?

I know lots of alternatives with either lithium batteries, too long (3xC or 3xAA) or too small (3xAAA).
 
I am very happy with Heser. Also, when I think "backup," I do not think "cheap." Think about the situation when you must use backup lights...

As for the alternatives, you're missing Light Monkey 3W light.
