I really want to do this but I'm just having difficulty justifying having $350 orginal cost + $185 upgrade = $535 into this light. This light is my EDC and I absolutely love it. It's just the best dang light and I like some others have contemplated just getting another new one. And to be honest I really would love to have a Cree version (don't ask me why because I don't have a good reason).
I'm still on the fence, unfortunately, so please defer my position while I mull it over some more.
I agree and sympathize with everything you are saying here. The cost is high because we spent so many months getting this all ready. That includes the work that went into the STFu and getting the upgrade kit parts made.
All I can tell you is if you do spring for Wayne's upgrade you will be happy with the lights new level of operation. I don't recommend anybody upgrade purely on the increased brightness of the Seoul. That would not be enough to push me over the edge. Forget about all the easter egg fluff too. But the basic converter board function is something else. The smooth changing of power with no flashing between levels is, IMHO, the point.
Cheers
Dave
