Exactly. The lower board in the D/EX10's head has components on both sides. The one in LF5XT does not. So that actually makes them the same in terms of complexity, except LF5XT's switch is in the tail instead of head.
Also, high-quality micro switches can survive somewhere in the range of TEN million (or tens of millions) activations. The lower-spec ones are in the range of a few millions, like i've mentioned before.
Just to make things clear - i'm not trying to say one's better than the other. To me they are both (actually, three) very nice lights, but with widely differing intended audience and approach to UI. I happen to like both, though i am a bit biased towards the LF5XT, being a gadget freak
Edit: Oh, and apologies, Yaesumofo, for presuming you didn't try the light before criticizing it.
