It's a nice price. Beam angle is 10 degrees so obviously not as good at signaling or low viz as a narrower beam, often 6 degrees. I guess it depends on your intended use and conditions.

Bonus though, awesome service from both DGX and DiveRite.

The Hollis looks to be brighter, has a nice narrow beam and twice the run time. Of course it is much more expensive. Is it worth the extra? Not sure. I don't cave dive, hopefully some cave people will jump in. If I was in the market, of the two you've listed I'd probably get the Hollis.

That sure is a steep drop in output over the first hour.

And thats why its so much cheaper.
Miguel;
Remember your dives are about to go from 30min to 90--120min per dive with a break and repeat. You need a constant burn for 4 hours otherwise you'll be hunting for the line in the dark.

What do you have Tom the Hollis 15?
It has specs that are similar TO THE DRIS 1000 lumen HANDHELD LIGHT, but it is only $90.00. I have a DRIS (back up to my 2800 lumen Lights-For-Me canister light that I use as my primary) and a buddy has the Diverite 1000 lumen LED canister light ..there's not any significant difference in the beams or output between the DRIS or the Diverite.
