l2d rebel 100 or l2d q5???

[jasonsmaglites]

well ive had both for about a month.
i don't think i use both enough to keep both.
plus i have an l1d q5 that i can feed aa or 14500(currently in-no modes)
soo. question is which one should i keep.
i could sell the l2d q5 cause i will already have a q5 light,
but i think the rebel 100 would bring a premium, as they are no longer made.
what do you guys think i should do?
am i allowed to ask what you think i should ask? (moderators?)

Jason, I think the L2D RB100 is back to "available" status - they are currently listed on Fenix-store as an available item. David / 4sevens clarified that the L2D Premium Rebel was to return in this post over on the Dealer's Corner section of the Marketplace.

Given that the R100 is again back to a "regularly available" item, I'd say just choose the one that you prefer for color and go from there. I ended up picking up a couple of the R100 L2D's and I think my personal preference is for the color of the Rebel (more of an incan tint) and the beam shape, so my Q5 is on the block.

FWIW I have both also. Except, I'm keeping both.

If you're only going to keep one, keep the one whose tint you like better.

I have 1 rebel L2D and i like the tint better compared to my Other Fenix Q5. It seems Rebel in Fenix always gives white-yellowish color...

Keep both. Keep the other one as a backup.

I always carry 2 to 3 lights in-case one breaks ... I find my L2D CE acts up every once in a while (dirty contacts). So having a backup is always a good thing.
