Is it worth it to get the RXP due to the lithium batteries option? How much longer does it last in the winter time. The different lighting levels seem like they would be good but it looked like the light does not last as long. I would only use it for one night events so I don't know if it is worth the upgrade. I have a different headlamp now but I am looking for one that has a focused beam as well.

Depends on how much time you're spending in cold environments and the total level of performance you're looking for. The RXP is going to be brighter in all conditions (especially in the cold with lithium batteries). Both lamps will get you through a single night no matter which batteries you use, though.
