What a surprise the email was.
This is a big deal, not because I care about a 1x21700 body at this point, but what it bodes for the future.
At present, there's not a legitimate or logical reason for this body to exist unless there are higher power dropins and heads in the works designed around single li-ion as a power source.
Right now, for MD bodies, there's M61HOT, M361, HD/WC 18650, and...nothing, because that's it.
The E2XTL was another step, another surprise, toward prioritizing li-ion that may be giving us a glimpse of future plans.
Forget the E2XT part, it's a MDC head for a 18mm body(!).
Now I'm just gonna patiently sit back and watch, and see what kind of announcements show up in my inbox later in the year:santa:
