I would absolutely buy the clicky... I've posted on several threads now about that very feature!!! It's better for one-handed operation I feel.

No...No clicky at all..All I need is at least 3 brightness levels,"find me" and overdriven flash ..Why there is no flashlight with overdriven stobe(flash)...Runing the led very hard for 1/10 of a second should be safe and very useful

Hmm, the L2P with optional CR123 body is pretty much a P1 with a clickie... so no, I like the P1 as is.

Make my P1 with a "find my car keys" function

I'd take a 17670 body for the P1 head with a clickie switch on it. I'd even settle for a crappy Kroll.....
The P1 head runs extremely well on pretty much any battery you feed it, including AA Ni-MH.

I'd buy another one in a minute if they started making them with a clickie, I hate twisties, but I like the light. What would it add to the length? another 1/2 inch?

No. One of the reasons I bought it was BECAUSE its not a clickie.

For a light that is so small like P1, I prefer a twisty switch. My P1 head can be turned easily with one hand.

NO, NO, NO!!!!!!!!!!!! :tsk: :tsk: 
Clickies tend to add length to a light. On a full size light it isn't a problem.
On a short light whose primary advantage is it's tiny size, it can defeat the whole purpose of the light.
So it would have to be done very well and small.

Another no. I prefer twisties on a small light for their reduced size and improved reliability.

Cheapo is absolutely right!!! I couldn't agree more... well, I could but then the entire world would explode into a cosmic fireball of destruction; killing every living thing on earth and sending the other planets in our solar system flying off into oblivion... so I guess I really couldn't agree more with cheapo... unless you consider the above an option; in which case, you are crazy!!!

YES.
Twisties are more reliable but clickies are W A Y easier to use one-handed. Since everyone has his own opinion about this no manufacturer's ever gona satisfy everybody unless he offers both types. Actually all three types. The ones you have to hold in to keep the light on ,the ones you click once and the light stays on untill you click again ,and twisties.
