What about a Surefire G1?

What about a plastic Surefire G1 running on a single CR123? Would you buy it?

I'd much rather have an E1e, because it'd be thinner. But I could see myself buying a G1 if it had decent runtimes and somehow differentiated itself from just being a Nitrolon E1e.

It would probably be quite a bit less impressive than the G2. 15 or maybe 20 lumens for an hour or something like that.

Of course, you could use the Bug Out Gear Lux III module in it for good brightness and limited runtime but I think a lot of folks looking for a light like that would rather pay a bit more for a host such as the E1E with the KL1 head or something 'nice' like that.

While the G2 is impressive for the price, it is kinda bulky and if I'm gonna have bulk, I'd rather have some decent runtime and output.

Surefire produced a 3P, and it was not well received and the E1/E1e had better form, easier to carry, brighter and longer runtime.

G3 yes. G1 no.
