Any updates as to how we're doing on this?

Sorry for the delay, work has been kicking my butt and I am working on sourcing the LED's and should have something in the next couple of days. Once I have these, I will start the official thread.
I think I'll be in for either. Would prefer a 4k, and would definitely prefer an M361 HCRI!!!!!! Maybe in the future, thanks for putting this together.

OK, here is the latest update.
First, my apologies on the delay, I have had 4 projects hit with my job and have been pretty slammed the past few weeks.
Now the details.
There are literally hundreds of XPL's and I have narrowed it down to the following choices. These are sourced from Mouser and while they look good on paper, there is no guarantee that I can get specified bin's that are below BBL (not sure I would want to proceed based on this). There is no good options (that I have found for the 5000K) in an XPL, only an XPL2 and since I have no experience with these I will need to confirm with Gene that these will work.
If these are acceptable, then we can proceed with the GB or if there is another place that I should look, let me know.
Feel free to check these out and make any suggestions. These are all 80CRI.

Di you check International Outdoor Store? They have XP-L in 4000K and 5000k for at least 3.98 $, if you buy more than 10 pc.

XP-L2 might have an ugly tint shift, which we definitively do not want.

Second option:
5000K XP-L from Mountain Electronics, should be the same emitter as from Intl. Outdoor. The price is surely negotiable.

4000K XP-L from Gene's inventory. As I said before, he should have them for the neutral HD 18650 and HD Super

These look nice. What is the difference between V3 and V6

Have already posted in the official GB thread; am in the #1 slot so all is good in the world. 
For all of you on the fence, recall that Gene hasn't done /any/ custom builds for something like ~8 yrs - the last few that I know of were upon the initial release of the M91 way back when.
Personally, I am actually in a very challenging financial position at the moment (so difficult timing over here), but I simply cannot miss this opportunity as I can't imagine another run of P60-format dropins such as these.
Thanks to all & best regards,

re: the XP-L2:
I'm definitely an efficiency nerd; so as long as I can get 5000K, I'd love as many lumens-per-watt as possible.
On the other hand, others here are certainly more experienced with specific LED-model characteristics, so I guess I'd defer to them if significant issues are expected with the very latest LED models.
