I received PD40 last week. In the same order I also included a PD25 and FD40. This is my 4th MT-G2 light and it didn't make me dissatisfied.
I don't care much about the Burst mode. It did not contribute to my choice of this light, and I will likely not use it at all. All other of my MT-G2 have a nice neutral tint and PD40 isn't an exception. Floody and pretty similar beam like TK35UE MT-G2. But PD40 is much more comfortable in the hand. For the most tasks a side switch is to prefer before a tail switch, in my opinion.
PD40 and FD40 share the same battery type which is good. The beam character and tint are totally different however. FD40 is a typical white cool tint and not as comfortable as the tint of PD40. While PD40 is very floody and therefore does not throw far even at the higher levels, the FD40 is everything between flood and throw. I don't think FD40 is regulated at the highest mode, if so very short time. The brightness decreases slowly. PD40 seems to provide stable 1000lm output, however. I have each Fenix 4800mAh cell in each of them and the cells were charged at the same time. Whatever: I am very pleased with both of them. Both provide stable tailstanding and can be used for room lighting as well. Just wish FD40 had the tint of PD40!
