First question: Will the g2x meet the needs that the 8x was meeting?

Second question: The reason they want to swap is because they don't have any any more. Do you want to keep your piece of history as part of your collection, or maybe sell it to a collector that will treat it properly, instead of letting Surefire scrap it?

Final question: How have your needs changed since you got the 8x? Can they be met by one of the currently available lights that would be affordable enough to let you keep the 8x?

Ancillary question: What is wrong with the 8x? If it is just that the battery won't hold a charge any more, there are people available who can build another battery pack. If you are reasonably handy, you could probably build your own. If you can't find bulbs anymore there are ways and means to substitute other incan bulbs or switch to LED.

You should trades for a peacekeeper or something else rechargeable. That would better fit the other lights role.
