Seen a couple at work, wasn't impressed. One led more than my TL-LD600,
otherwise no brighter.
2 buttons=more hassle. Mounting vertically defeats the point of the end
leds.

10leds, that bright you cannot look directly into the leds, 2 leds are
mounted on each end so makes it more visable from the side, hardly a
hassle to use the two buttons, just gives you more options in flash
pattern/solid light combos

and WTF would anyone mount one vertically?

on my tourer, the only consistantly visable spot is the back of the
rack frame next to the wheel, and I'm not keen on pointing things at
the wheel.
Seat post don't work, I usually have a rack bag.

That's the problem I have too. The only light that seems to work in that
situation is the original rectangular Vistalite tail light.
Unfortunately they aren't imported into Australia any longer. I had to
buy them from Pricepoint http://www.pricepoint.com in the US, but the
delivery charges were greater than the cost of the lights. They sell
sets of two lights for US$13 but the shipping costs US$36!

My TL LD600 clamp doesn't work there, but its two pieces held together
with bolt&nut so I swapped half with something that does. No idea what
that bit came with.

Wind resistance ? you dont need to be a physics major to know it doesnt make any difference if it horizontal or vertiical. equal amounts of area will creat equal amounts of wind resistance. Now if you were to mount it sideways you would cut down on wind resistance. In my opinion if you are worried about how much wind resistance is caused by a tail light. Clip it to the back of your jersey/shirt... Voila "NO WIND RESISTANCE!"
