Need help replacing my MT-G2 flashlight

[Xphobe]

So my favorite go-to flashlight, the Nitecore EC4SW, has an enormous amount of miles on it and I am trying to find as close as a replacement as possible seeing as how they discontinued it.

I am looking for a single "flood" emitter or one with multiple emitters with the same or less power draw. I am also trying to find one that takes either a single 26650, double or single 21700 (side-by-side), or double 18650 (side-by-side) with the SAME amount of flood and color as my favorite MT-G2 emitter. So far I have been a bit disappointed with the current available option, the Cree XHP 70, as the "neutral white" "cool white" seem to be very different than the MT-G2s "Natural white".

I recently purchased a ThruNite TC20 (XHP70.2 neutral white) and a Fenix TK35UE (XHP70 cool white) and they do not seem to be very close to my EC4SW.....

They all seem to be very different from each other. The MT-G2 does seem to have the best overall " True White" color with the best natural fade from focus to flood.
Are there any other flashlights that I should be looking at?

I put MT-G2 to my TC20, easy operation, much better quality of light. XHP70.2 is just a bad emitter.
I recommend to do it while it's available.

You can try and find a TK35UE from 2014. That year model had the MT-G2.
