What is currently the brightest zoomable 3D Maglite LED dropin?

What is currently the brightest 3D Maglite LED dropin? I'm looking to retain the zooming ability or get as throwy as possible. So far, I'm aware of the TerraLUX Ministar5 6EXB, but 140 lumens doesn't necessarily impress in 2012.
What are the alternatives? Price may be an issue.

You'll not find a better quality, or brighter, single die drop in than the ones you'll see when you click here ...> MALKOFF

How does 700 lumens grab ya? :devil:

If you want to build one yourself, maybe a SST-90 direct drive?

For drop-ins, the Malkoff one is probably best.

Looks really nice. $40 shipping seems a bit excessive though. Perhaps I can find one elsewhere.

thetorchsite carries some LED upgrades, probably cheaper shipping for you.

I was looking at the TTS-3WCR90 XPG-R5

So I ended up going with the TerraLUX TLE-6EXB MiniStar5 in the end. Since it's sort of a "let's get this old bugger working again" type of thing, I think it will suffice. Now on to some nice AA to D-cell adapters. 🙂
