I'm still on the hunt for a high power rechargeable. Currently I'm looking at the Pelican M9 and the Surefire 8NX. The similarities that I like are both companies have very good reputations, both light are non-metalic and both are made in the US.
The differences are:
M9 122 lumens, 8NX 110 lumens - not much difference, but some
M9 1 hr run time, 8NX 50 minutes - not much difference
M9 about $80, 8NX about $150 - big difference
M9 charges complete flashlight, 8NX charges battery out of the light - important difference
M9 comes with one battery, 8NX comes with two batteries - important since 8NX charges the battery
Any other important similarities/differences I'm missing? The charging option is big, but I don't know if it's worth twice the price.
