So far I think I can learn to live with a significantly shorter battery life than my Aura HD (I was expecting about 50% of that, but so far I'm getting about 30% or so). My only other gripe is the lack of the hardware button to turn the light on and off, but fortunately enough I rarely use it in total darkness. In all other respects I find the Aura One to be superior, even if it doesn't fit into the pants pocket quite as comfortably as the HD did
