I couldn't agree more w/DM51's reactions. As someone who has been writing detailed reviews of things since high school (for about 3 decades now!), this is what a real-world product review should aspire to be.
Bravo & Hallelujah, Cataract!
Just got a Modus II, and it works fine with e2 L91 Lithium primaries. You're sure P.K. confirmed that it can handle the voltage of two charged 14500 cells? The website and the packaging mention ONLY 1.5v alkalines.
Excellent photography, chenko! Between you and the always-thorough selfbuilt, I'm going to have my work really cut out for me in figuring what to say that hasn't already been said about the TK45.
