are there already 1st hand focusing comparisons?

there are:
the cree optic,
another optic with a focused main optic and some snap on diffusers
and some Lux-suiting reflectors homemodded for a cree (IMS and similar)
and the McR 19 (but expensive) which should give good results

beam should be not too tight, think of SF balanced throw/medium flood

which one is best?

I've not seen any beamshots of the cree optics.... I want to see them!
There is also the kathoid(sp?) apsherical cree optics which sound interesting.
And the square ledli(sp?) cree optics.

i have do a beamshot of the cree optic, nice large corona (around 80°) and hot spot with a good sidespill, not perfect like a LOP reflector but is the only solution for the tight beam pattern of the xr-e
