I admit I've not paid much attention to tint once I/we moved past 5mm angry blue LED's to the Luxeon lottery (which I generally won and had no cat urine green lights so I just accepted tint as one variable that was by and large uncontrolled). So I haven't paid much attention to tint really - most lights I've had and still have generally tended toward cooler ends but I just didn't focus much on it.
But since I've had a few more customized choices - and begun to experiment with some different tints now that they are more readily available and selectable - I realize I've started to develop distinct preferences. To wit - I just bought a 3000k nailbender XML drop in wanting to experience a warm tint and I have to admit I'm not digging it. I like my Zebralight H31w a good bit which is a warmer tint but not overly "yellow" but man that 3000k emitter is almost hotwire colored to my eye - maybe even moreso than a hotwire... Now I get that really cool tints are also starting to bother me a bit - leaving me I guess in the on the fence neutral (skewing to cool I suppose if given a choice) type guy... my K2 TFFC TVOD seems still just about perfect.
So while I didn't get those always requesting tint selection I think after all these years I am perhaps now slowly joining your camp ...
