The more I use the L1, the more I like it for an all-purpose EDC. The question is, aside from the extra option of a long-throwing EDC (which is the main reason for considering a changeover), I suspect that all of the rest may be worse than the old L1. I know that the spill is narrower, even with the F04. The beam is about 50% brighter by the numbers (perceptably so, at least with the new KL-1 on the E1e as a guide), and this is good but I strongly suspect that this might reduce the runtimes, (although the published numbers by Surefire don't reflect this). I guess that I am asking for ANY opinions (pro or con) about the new L1 vs. the old L1. If you go by the propaganda, except for a small reduction in spill, the new L1 is all improvement. Has this been your experience??!!
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
