@Carrot everything you said is true, but isnt surefire already doing exactly that? What with their "Dual fuel" series (I lol'd, only for sf that'd be a headline feature) and their branded usb charged 18650s? As you pretty much explained there just isnt enough room for 18650s and Surefire's flats while maintaining the same form factor, I just see all future sf's to look like their Furies, thicker and more round. I dont find the scarcity or lack of industry development of the 16650 to be that troubling, and the lower current is fine as I dont care for more than 400-500 lumens in the e/l/aviator series form factor but that's just me, I guess I'd take form over performance, though personally I hate how lately max lumens and performance are mentioned so interchangeably. I'm still impressed to this day when I pick up my smaller flats surefires, they just handle great and Id love to buy a modern sf that has the same feel. I dont like the edc series as much, they just dont feel right, the e1/2/dls are okay.
