[FONT="]On the medium mode my first reaction was that I would like a fourth mode. Keep the medium the same output but add a 70ish lumen mode for 1, 15, 70, 160. Then of course you have the drawback of clicking through an extra mode and I suppose I wouldnt really know if I would prefer that without living with it for a week. [/FONT]

[FONT="]When it comes to the beam pattern do you like the floodier pattern better on the Maratac for edc? A priori I would have said floody beam patterns make more sense like those present on the Foursevens Mini ml-x or Mini MKII. Yet somehow I prefer the tighter hotspot on the Aeon. [/FONT]

[FONT="]To get philosophical, I have a question on the performance attribute; I see people use this and I wonder what they mean. I can see performance being limited in describing light output. However, I like to think of it as how well the flashlight performs all around. The clip, the clicky or twisty action, the size in terms of carry and using, battery life, output levels, quality of the beam pattern, tint, and CRI all come together for a performance rating for me. How do you mean performance and how do you think most people mean it?[/FONT]
