Re: Surefire Invictus & Optimus Breaking News!
I spoke to customer service at Surefire today and was informed they are now going to release the Invictus before the Optimus. They stated they received so many calls on the Invictus, they decided to release it in June. Has anyone else heard this? I was holding out for the Invictus. Looks like its going to be a shorter wait.
Well - I (and my wallet) hope you are right, but based on how I feel about these two lights, I think this would be a marketing blunder for SureFire, if true.
I am certainly more interested in the Invictus than I am the Optimus - but I had already figured in my own mind that I was likely to get one of each of these lights primarily because I'm interested enough in the Optimus so to purchase one, but mostly because I am really terrible at delaying gratification and I'd get the Optimus since I couldn't really hold out for the Invictus, and then I'd get the Invictus as well.
However - reversing the release of these lights does not create the same situation for me! If the Invictus comes out first, I suspect I'll get it and be content enough so that it's much less assured that I'll end up with an Optimus, as well.
But of course, that's just me. I suspect SureFire could release these lights in either order and it would not impact sales much.
