What's the difference between the S2 and S20, besides 6.3mm in length, which seems inconsequential?

I agree. The difference in size between the S1 and S10 is 12,4 mm. I think that the difference in length between S2 and S20 should be more than just 6mm. When looking at the comparison picture, it looks like the difference in length is more than 6mm.
It figures. I was debating between the S20/S30 or Zebralight's SC62 for a compact high-output 18650 light. I liked Olight's magnetic tailcap, but I wanted higher output than the S20 and smaller size than the S30.
So I bought the ZL SC62 yesterday. And now Olight comes up with the S2. Figures.
Zebralight is definitely a winner for me. I'd love to see the new SC63 with a TIR optic to reduce the length and give a smoother beam. The S2 would have to be modded to a neutral or warm LED for me. The one thing that's most interesting to me about the S2 is the possibility of copper and titanium versions.Clearly, the Zebralight SC62 is the better flashlight. When it goes on sale, however, the Olight S2 is likely to be half the price!
As Olight does not offer neutral-white models of its flashlights, I will not be a buyer of the S2. I am interested, however, in the use of TIR optics. In most general-purpose flashlights that have a reflector, I like the beam produced by a diffuser much better than the regular beam. With a TIR, it is possible to get a similar beam, but without the need for a diffuser.
I am not sure, however, whether the TIR implementation used by the S2 would give me the beam I like.
Hmm just thought of something: Maybe this is to help combat Nitecore's MH20?? But of course it is slimmer but it is a compact rechargeable.
