What was originally my least favorite LED (L2) became my most favorite after a 2 week campout in remote North Eastern Nevada regions. After a few nights, I found the flood characterists perfect for camping / night walking. The low setting was perfect for reading in the tent, as I was able to hold it fairly close and not have to move it excessively because of its wide smooth beam.
I'm now thinking about the U2, but have a couple of concerns.
1) Size - seems quite larger than the L2, maybe less pocket friendly.
2) Beam seems more focused with more hotspot definition than the L2, less friendly for reading. I already own LED's with really good throw (see below.)
I would prefer the clickie tail on the U2, is there a way of fitting a 2-speed clickie on the L2?
Anyone familiar enough with beam and size characteristics between these 2 models to help answer my concerns? Thanks for your help.

Current inventory:
HDS Basic 60 GT (carried all the time, but too focused for reading)
L2 (gotten to love the smooth wide beam, still pocket friendly)
Gladius (ultra cool, but jury is still out for my uses)
Inova T3 (great throw for the few times I need it)
