Of the 3-cell Surefires, which one is a better buy, the M3 (top of the line and most $) or the Z3 (lowest cost). I know about the C3 (HA is optional) but I'm leaning toward the M3. But I could save money by getting the Z3, plus I like the style of the Z3 a bit better than the C3. If I get the Z3 I would also buy the 200 lumen HOLA.
So if you had a choice between these lights which one of the 3 would you get if you were on a budget?
I don't really want to spend the extra $$ on an M3 but I don't want to get the Z3 and regret it later. I know the M3 is waterproof, HA, comes with both bulbs (125 & 225 lumen)
1. So is the M3 worth the extra money?
2. Is the 125 lumen with pyrex lens on the M3 noticeably brighter than the Z3's 105 lumen bulb?
