Who has both of these?!?

I just got the Aviator today and think it's an awesome setup. I need to compare the two to decide which will end up being used as my "backup" light for work. I really like the 400 lumens and flood of the MV Backup. I think the throw is the TIR is going to be nice to have from the Aviator. I just ordered two Aviator tail caps from Surefire so one will be going on the backup if I decide to go that route.

Looking for opinions on which to use as a backup light just to get some brain storming going. The tail cap is key for me as I want to be able to use it in "candle mode" hands free bouncing off the ceiling. I like that the backup puts out more light for that scenario but I think the 250 lumens of the Aviator will work fine as well.

Not sure if the red is the Aviator will be something I'd use a lot or not yet.

I think it comes down to if I'm going to want that flood vs throw. My main light is the Stiletto Pro 2.

Thoughts on the two pictured??

I like the Aviator for the feel in hand and the tail cap. I've owned the exact same model and now own the same but with amber secondary.
