Fenix TK70 vs Stanley HID 3000 for throw and brightness

Sorry if this has already been asked.

Thanks Bruce

Hmmm, I have Stanley HID3000 but I don't have the TK70. I have instead X21 which has the same beam pattern for throw but less powerful. I love more the X21. The HID3000 has a different beam, it's bigger with a small powerful spot in the middle. If I would have to chose between HID3000 and X21/TK70 I'd definitely go for the latest(s).

The Stanley is brighter and will throw quite a bit better, although the runtime is short lived. TK70 has the advantage of a more floody beam and multiple outputs, running up to 168 hours. The TK70 is probably the more utilitarian light overall.

Why would you buy the Fenix TK70 over these chinese HID? Why is Fenix TK70 better?
