I've just bought and installed an Exposure Flash (and the Flare rear too). About to use it to commute in for nights for the first time in a few minutes - will let you know what I think of it, if you're looking at the 30-40 pound budget for a 'be seen' light.
I've been using the Blackburn Flea 2.0 up until now, but have been let down by it failing to charge properly and needing replacing twice (the seller says its a common problem, however have had no issues getting a replacement twice).

I've just bought 2 of these, http://www.cateye.com/uk/products/detail/TL-LD611-F/ from Ribble Cyles, they cost me about £36 for two via their current offer, (RRP £29.99 each). I don't need to see by lights, I just need to be seen, and these are damned bright for small lights and have some great flashing functions. I also wanted them small and wanted the USB recharge ability, so these ticked all my boxes.
I've been using them for a couple of weeks, have only charged them once, (when I got them), and IME they are a superb commuting 'be seen' light.

Price wise around the 50 pound mark and to light the road, I do fancy the idea of recharging them though smileysmoo.

cateye is probably a better one to go for pop into your local go outdoors they have combo packs where you get a tail light and headlight and a computer

I just bought the Moon xp500 and WOW is it good. £80 from my LBS TOO, cheaper than Amazon.
