Does anyone actually own both? Input would be great - looking for a big gun - What throws farther and is a better light?
You could also go over to flashlightnews.net and look at the "VaraPower Turbo Ver 2.0" thread for some great beamshots if you find an interest in the VPT2.

Thanks for the great info 357mag1 ! I'll certainly PM when ready - also suggestions on batteries for the TK70 if I decide to go that route would be welcomed. I went to Lambda's site to look at the VPT2 and although it looks like an awesome light- the site says they're sold out. Also the warnings on running the light hot, etc... could be an issue. I would like to run these lights if needed for as long as 20-30 minutes on high. A couple of these cycles in one evening would be great also. Based on this info, the TK70 is moving into the top slot. Any additional info on your VPT2 would be great - the beamshots looked very impressive.
The TK-70 will be one of my next lights to buy. I really like the fact that it runs up to 2,200 lumens with only 4 -D cell batteries! You can get D's anywhere, and cheap too if you buy them at the right place, or get rechargeables. D's have a lot going for them too, which is why they have traditionally been used to power flashlights, so I'm glad to see a major brand get back to using them.
I too have both, and am in 100% agreement with everything that TEEJ says above. I would only perhaps add that the ease of recharging the SR90 over that of the TK70 makes a pretty big difference to me. I've also noticed a significant parasitic drain with the TK70, that may indeed just be the batteries themselves, but my SP90 holds a charge like nobody's business!

I know someone that has the TK70. You want me to test it for the drain? Ideally, if I fond the SR90 too, I can give you a good comparison.
