Well I got my MC-E Milky and got to test it tonight against the new L4. Here are my observations:
Throw is nearly identical on both lights, at a distance, one doesn't beat the other on lighting something up. I was worried the Milky would be too floody and useless at say 75 yards, but it isn't at all.
Spill area is larger on the Milky of course, but not by a huge margin, but enough to notice.
The Milky light has MUCH warmer tint and the spill is noticeably brighter. This is what really sets the Milky apart from the stock L4, the light coming out of that MC-E is nice and warm white looking, while the L4 is cold and blueish by comparison.
The hi and low level is great on the Milky, I prefer it to a single mode. The low mode is truly amazing, 60 lumens of floody light, I own a couple dozen lights, but nothing that lights up such a large area softly like this light on low mode. Wow!
Overall, I would say the Milky L2 MC-E is definitely worth the money. The new L4 isn't a bad light at all either, and one of the best floody lights I own. For a stock light, its pretty amazing, but the MC-E would have made it better obviously.
