I think the Peak would be in the same category as the Mako, especially at a 4 power or under. Still even at that level I don't think the run times are even close.
That might be interesting! I think that was the light I was actually thinking of that just seemed to appear when there were too many forces against it. It might make more sense for him to produce this light at this time as I think the low mode was expected to match the runtime of the Mako according to early documentation. Although the Mako now has some long term experience behind it so it might be the safer bet. In general day-to-day usage I would only need my keychain light to have 1 output level, but I have found the multiple levels on the LD01-SS to be quite useful. I think 2 or 3 levels can be very useful on an emergency light, even though it does seem to complicate things and possibly affect reliability. If your main light craps out outdoors sometimes the higher output level on keychain lights is really useful, in some cases I think it could be essential. I like to use even my backup keychain light so I know it is in good working order all the time, I carry an extra AAA cell for real emergencies.I'd be in for a 60 degree Mako. ....
I'd love for him to give another go at the Zephyr. ....
with genuine interest and absolutely no intention of starting an argument, can I ask what weaknesses in the design or construction of the Peak Eiger would make it less reliable than the Mako (single mode notwithstanding)?

...I know there are FIVE, yes, FIVE Mako 60º*out there in the world. I am aware of two of them here in NY, one in my friend's possession and one in my own. Coyote has another... where are the other two???

...I find none of these drawbacks (well, for a backup light in emergency) with Mako - light weight, smooth threads, and reasonable grip makes it an ideal candidate.

"calling two missing Mako 60 owners, please step forward!"
I try to keep one of them in decent company:
I do not believe that I am missing, I have mentioned it before that I own one of the 60º Makos. I did miss the regular sale of the Mako, but got the last one when Enrique cleaned out the remaining stock.
I also had a mako and foolishly sold it... I would be in for a 60degree if they are made...
