Need help deciding TK11 R2 vs TK11 R5

[3D black mag]

Hey guys, :wave: I've been looking at the Tk11 R2 and the TK11 R5 and cant decide which to get (unfortunatly can't get both :scowl. So I have a few quick questions. Which has more throw, which has a better beam( less donut hole), what are the run time differences, and is would either one of these be brighter or have a longer throw than a EagleTac T10LC2? If someone could answer some of these that would would help me out a bunch.

I've been trying to research this as well. Isn't the R5 just a replacement for the R2?

after a little research, I found this thread...

It seems the R5 is a different Cree std XP-G which might be a little brighter than R2 which is XR-E Cree std. The post claims R2 may be more white. Check out the link above for a tech sheet with more details
