I'm really pretty impressed with this light and at a close rang, it is as bright in the hotspot as a surefire P61, but its hotspot is much smaller.
The TL-3 xenon is brighter and has even better throw, but is physically bigger. It isn't as easy to carry. The TL-2 is perfect for a long throw beam in a surprisingly small package.
Maybe if someone can rip out the lamp from a p61 in one piece and put it in the TL-2...
