Dave, I can understand your perspective but do you realize how many members here bought them and carry them because they like the combination of the best low on the market (lower than most will use even :tinfoil
, compact size and ease of use.
Still it seems that the fact you EDC yours suggests that they may not just be for collectors. Apparently Yaesu, Bernie, Cy, myself and others are carrying them because the product offers enough value to us as users to cough up the high price of entry.
I don't know, maybe we're both on the same page after all, but my personal feeling is that in addition to being of interest to collectors, there is another group of picky, finicky sorts who just want what they want and to heck with having any money in the bank! That second group is the one I belong to, and not just about lights either! (I'm perpetually broke!
)
In closing just let me say that my Titan is the only light I have with a low setting which actually goes as low as I need it to.
