Jil is way smaller and lighter. Both are good quality. Runtime of the Jil varies by type. Jil DD runs many hours at 200cp tapering off (I've seen 10+ hours quoted) 1.3 up is brighter, but runs less time. Jil DD on Li-Ion RCR2 is way bright (approaching my HDS B42 on max) but for less time than on CR2 primaries.
Both have decent beams with semi-wide hotspots, but the Jil hotspot is wider.

The Jil uses CR2 battery versus the HDS CR123, so the HDS will have much longer runtime.

See the HDS review on flashlight reviews.com
See the Jil DD and Intelli reviews on LEDmuseum.org and on cones-stuff.co.uk

Of course the CPF motto is BUY BOTH! You can always sell one in good condition on the B/S/T forum at a minimal loss.
Happy hunting.
