I currently have a Blackeye 2 headcam, and am seriously thinking about switching to the ContourHD after seeing your review. Amazon.com has the ContourHD (720p version) for $169.99 (via applying coupon code "CONTOURH"). Do you really think the 1080p is worth the extra $160? I mean, I could buy 2 720p ver for the price of 1 1080p ver. What's your take on it? Awesome review!
