I have just received an E1L and bought a MN01 LA for my E2e, so I now have all four E series combos at my disposal. I like the E1 form factor for EDC around home, but I'm torn over wether to carry the E1L or E1E. Here are my thoughts, what are your opinions/advice/preverences?
Reasons I like the E1L:
1. REGULATED!!!! (this is big)
2. brighter than E1e (no spill though)
3. very white light
4. durable LED
5. better thrower than E1e (again, no spill)
Reasons I like the E1E:
1. Beautiful beam profile (crappy throw, but hey, it's one battery after all)
2. Smaller, nicer package than big KL1 head (this one matters)
3. more sidespill for a 'more usable' beam
Whadaya think? Which one should I carry? I have too many options now, and I can't seem to settle on one, therefore I'm looking to let you guys convince me. Anybody have both of these and consistently prefer one over the other?
Thanks,
Josh
