Kamakazikev24,
I can assure you that the flashlight did not leave our facility in that condition. Where the damage was done is still a mystery. But as far as I can tell from examining the damage, it was intentional. The customer asked for and received a refund without any argument.
Is being able to know ahead of time what tint you will receive - in the case of the GT model - worth it? Is moving from 30 minutes runtime with overheating problems to an hour of runtime with no overheating problems worth it? (Most people are reporting 1.25 to 1.5 hours of actual runtime on a primary cell) Is having a military hard anodized finish instead of a cosmetic easily scratched Type 2 finish worth it? Is having a longer throwing beam - in the case of the narrower beam model - worth it? Is fully automatic battery chemistry detection worth it? Is having a nearly unbreakable and high efficiency scratch resistant glass lens instead of a scratch-prone plastic lens worth it? Is protecting the battery from damage under extreme conditions worth it? Are robust threads worth it? Are longer runtimes on the lower settings worth it? Is having a lower low and a higher high worth it? Is having a company with a long history of backing its products instead of a company that abandons support of a product line (it was inconvenient for them to continue supporting those products) worth it? I guess only you can decide if these things are of value to you.
Henry.
