I don't have Eneloops, but I have a bunch of AA and AAA Amazon Basics LSD cells. I have a couple AAA lights I use regularly, and a couple AAA COB stick-ups as well. While the AAAs especially don't have a lot of capacity, I have cycled them enough to see that they have not yet begun to degrade. I usually wait until there is significant dimming before swapping them. My Xtar VC4 usually shows right around 1v when I pop them in to recharge. And as you say, I have already saved more than the cost of the cells, including my 10440s, 14500s, 16650s, and 18650s, and the charger, so the rest is just gravy. With my current usage patterns I expect to be able to coast along for at least a couple more years before having to worry about replacing any cells.
