Inova T1 vs Arc LSH

Did any Arc LSH owners at the Shot Show have a chance to look at the Inova T1? With a MSRP of $59, the T1 will appeal to those who haven't been able to afford the LSH. Inova has a reputation for good hardware execution, so I'm anxious to hear people's impressions.

Do we even know whether it is a HD or LD LED? And what are the details of the Luxeon Star 4 watter (T4)?

I'll take a T3 although the XO looks interesting. With the Luxeon III LEDs, I know the bin will be a minimum of S (equivalent of a Q bin for 1.2 watters) it is also a high dome so things get interesting.
I really would like to see how the XO fares, it reminds me of the X1 but with far more power. Inova, Pelican and Streamlight have brought out some interesting lights this year.

Geepondy, the Luxeon Star "4 watter" is probably a Luxeon III driven a little harder. Figure the T3 runs around a 3.7 forward voltage at 700mA for around 2.6 watts. The T4 has a higher forward voltage due to more mA being pushed through it. Figure a forward voltage of 4.0 volts at 1,000mA for 4 watts.
The T4 looks to be a bomb-proof light for LEOs.

Does anyone know what optics are used in the T series Inovas?
