CR123A's are easy to find. Albeit a bit more money but the flashlights that use them typically have better output with them. There was one torch that I was looking up a while back that was able to use one CR123A's or 2 AA's but the lumen's was significantly lower with AA's.
Another thing of note is that they are lithium. What's the price of a pair of lithium AA's? (Pair since each are only 1.5v and CR123A's are 3v) Without a deal for decent, branded lithium AA's, you're looking at about $10-12. A single CR123A is about the same. You can get them cheaper through people like Illusion when he has them in stock.
