Overall, I like the Mark II OP reflector T100C2 MUCH better. The original one has a slight donut in the middle, and is slightly ringy. OP reflector version has very nice beam, no rings & it still throws well, however the original one is slightly brighter and throws farther due to the smooth reflector. The Mark II I received has a warmer tint compared to the original one and the bezel is 1mm thicker. If you look, you can see little differences
all over the light, from the decreased knurling on the head & tail to the larger gap in front of the cigar grip ring. LED looks off center, but the beam isn't off-center at all.
 
Beamshots are always welcome.
The Mark II seems have lower output than T100C2 on first view, but has a smooth beam and I prefer it.

Nice version with warm tint led! :)

Thanks Anto! :thumbsup:
