I'm looking to buy my first new flashlight and decided that the MX25L3 will best fit my needs. I was originally going to go with the SX25L3, but then read about this model and decided it's worth going with the extra throw. I've decided to purchase it with the kit for the diffuser and tail cap switch.
Since this is a new model and hasn't been released yet should I be concerned about purchasing immediately on its release? I know in other industry's it's often better to wait for the bugs to be worked out. Is this typically a concern with flashlights or Eagletac as a manufacturer?
Can anyone recommend batteries & charger for this light? My only experience with batteries are the rechargeable NiMH AA's. Typically, I like to purchase the most powerful cells I can buy but I've never purchased 18650's before so I don't know if this is the best route to go. I could purchase the Eagletac recommended, but figured I's ask here first. Same question with the charger. I have read quite a bit about batteries on this site, but I guess I'm looking for specific recommendations based on this specific light. Maybe someone with the SX25L3 since this is the same host and engine.
