I know it is a bit late, but I have just received my Ion. I am so happy with the light, the construstion is great and beam is great.....The only problem is I am thinking of getting one more (and more) Ion....
I bought a pre-owned Ion recently and it is great. Love that wide beam. Mostly use low, which is plenty bright at night. I see no reason to improve it.
Enrique has been keeping very quiet recently. Very quiet indeed. It cannot be entirely beyond the bounds of possibility that he has been busy with a very exciting new project.
I LOVE my maroon CR 2 Ion!! I have had mine on me since it arrived this past Christmas. And because I love mine so much, I DID score a second one. CONGRATS on yours!!
