Hi Jordan,
I'm thinking of exchanging my 400R for a Quad Red through Dinotte's exchange program. Can you share any insights on the differences between the models? In other words, what are the benefits of the Quad Red?
On a related note, do you have any tips for mounting these lights on an aero seat post (P3)?

QuadRed has a built in battery. That's the really big difference. QuadRed is more of an evolution of the 300R than the 400R.
If you have a 300R, I wouldn't personally view the QuadRed as a meaningful upgrade. But if you have the 400R, having something with an integrated battery would be nice.
The trick that I used (and this is for DarkSpeedWorks as well) was to cut the back off the Dinotte aero mount, drill holes for zipties, and then use zipties to strap it around the aero post:
Basically, you use the front (meaning the part with screw mount point) to mesh with the aero post, and then basically make your own "strap" system to allow it to fit any post. I don't have any pics, because I use helmet mounted lights on my TT bike and use this on my road bike.
But does what I'm describing make sense?
