I am looking for another cree flashlight. I am looking for something brighter than my rexlight (on 14500). I don't want anything too big, but I want something that fits my hand better than 1AA lights. It has to be able to use rechargeable cells. I would prefer not to spend too much since I am over budgeted for flashlights for the year. The thing is, I got a fever and the only cure is - MORE FLASHLIGHTS.
 
know what You mean, sometimes I have this with my Fenix'.
Thats where the SF 6P-mod comes into play.

My advise: start to mod.
Think of a driver (flupic f.e.), a battery (18650), the emitter, reflector, things, ...
Then get a light as a host (dealextreme Xenon light suitable for 18650 batt --> cheap. Or that XTAR 7 Watt 18650 Rechargeable Flashlight from lighthound with batts + charger).
Assembly out, measure room and make a heatsink as thick as possible and round to press-fit into the body.
mount everything together (Expoxy glue), and You have YOUR light.
Fits YOUR needs better than anything else
(till the next batch of even better emitters comes out) ;)

PS: an even perfect idea were the Inova T1. Nice knurling, small diameter, very short. Have one on the way and hope its modable with 18650 and Cree. This would really be THE light
