Most aftermarket drop-ins are brighter than the P60L. Most of them are also not warrantied. Their manufacturers can drive the LED much harder than is reliable for the application, since they don't have to worry about replacing them when they fail.
Get yourself on the waiting list for a Malkoff (www.malkoffdevices.com) and you can have the best of all worlds, Brightness, Quality, Reliability and Warranty just in case.
I recommend something in the warm line, but it's personal preference. If brightness and run time trump all then the new M61 would be my target.

Do we know anything about the M61 yet?
I have not seen anything on their website about it, neither specs nor price.

Rocketman... please take a week off to reflect on the inadvisability of contravening that rule.
kts... endorsing a troll post constitutes baiting in itself and therefore also a Rule 4 violation. The unimaginative manner in which you did so has mitigated in your favor, so you may return on Tuesday.

The M61 should be in full production by March... or thereabouts. I got to play with a preproduction prototype at SHOT and it is really, really awesome. Gene Malkoff and Don McLeish working together means very happy flashaholics! It has a really nice smooth beam and a bit wider hotspot than the M60 which means it'll be a joy to use and an excellent supplement to anyone's Surefire collection.
The M60 itself is absolutely phenomenal, with more throw than the M61 will have and with excellent output... so don't think you're getting "old news" when you get the M60... it is different enough to justify owning both.

The specs are now on their website, there's a thread here on CFP too, but it's crowded with a bunch of speculation from people who haven't tried it yet. You may still want to sift through it.
+1 on everything Carrot said.
