opinions on this shortlist please

After a few years out I've caught the bug again and I'm back on the hunt for a new light.
I'm a serving Police officer and most of my duties are urban so my Thrunite T21 provides sufficient light on a day to day basis.
On the odd occasion I'm working in rural areas I need a light to search open spaces. After a few days of trawling the manufacturers sites I've narrowed it down to the following:

Fenix TK35
Olight M22 warrior
Zebralight SC600
Jet beam SRA40

Budget is £60/$100. I'd prefer simple modes and clicky on/off is a must. Any other suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks

No one with any day to day experience of these....??

Those are all good brands of lights, I don't own any of them but I don't think you can go wrong with that list. I would take a look at the EagleTac TX25C2. I have heard that some people are having problems with the Zebralight SC600's they may have a QC problem. Take a look at this thread http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?349198-ZebraLight-SC600-MkII&highlight=SC600+MKII

Firstly I don't have any of these but a few observations:

All seem to be over your £60 budget
All seem to be 18650 powered (not sure on the Jetbeam), Do you have 18650s already. If not you need to factor in approx £12 per unit plus £20 for a decent charger.
SC600 - If you need decent serachlight capabilities then this may be too floody for you (but is otherwise great)
TK35 - Somewhat physically larger
M22 - Probably a good beam profile for your requirements

(I'm not familiar with the Jetbeam)

On similar lines but slightly more affordable the nitecore EC25 should be considered (for single 18650) Or maybe their EA4 if you decide AA batteries are a preference.


** sorry just reread your post - neither of these Nitecore options are clicky they have the smart camera shutter type switch.
