Has the E2L-AA been updated?

[BIG45-70]

Is the E2L-AA shipping with a new head? I've seen on a few sites listing the output as an updated 120 lumens, instead of 80 lumens, If so what are the specs to the new head as far as output and runtime compared to the KX1B?

From my understanding they are not out yet but supposedly soon. Surefire had a release date of march but you know how that goes.They suppose to release the "Ultras", LX2U and the E2DU.

they should have made it at least 180 lumens.

Releasing new models usually corresponds with higher retail prices.
Under the present global economic climate, I wouldn't want to launch anything now. If they don't get the desired level of off take, then their opportunity for profits would be lost.
But in the case of Surefire, I understand that their main market is the US Military, has there been budget cuts? If there are, then Surefire will be affected.
