You said, you just didn't like the color of the LEDs in your mini maglite. In that case, forget about Fenix. Even the "natural white" is still very, very white.
Well, join the club of INCAN-lovers if you like their color of light
Be sure to check out the INCAN section of this forum, to find out why incans still rule, when used with some caution. Let's put it this way: incans get hot, consume lots of energy, have a limited lifetime, are likely to be dead when dropped in the "on"-state, but.... give wonderful light
My secret tip, if your budget is a total of about $140,- : totally forget about the mags and go straight for the finest illumination tools: try to fetch a Surefire C3 HA. The standard P90 Lamp Assembly is very, very useful.
Take a look at it here:

The only drawback of this light is, that it consumes three expensive CR123 batteries each hour (!)
Yes, that's the price we have to pay when we don't want to use LEDs.... but there's a very good solution!
Get a decent charger and some AW-brand 17500 rechargeable protected Li-ion batteries, ($10,- each and you need at least 2) and you have guilt-free Lumens
Runtime is nearly an hour this way.
This was my very first Surefire, and still, because of its versatility, one of the most-used! You'll never regret buying a C3. You can make whatever you want out of it, because it uses the most widely spread dropin-system: the D26-sized dropins (nearly) all fit. You may even fit a LED if you want later....
