Well, let's see... The KL4 is bright and the KL1 runs forever, but you can't have both. It all depends on your needs/wants. Do you need lots of light over a relatively short distance, or just enough to read a map or book? Are you stuck on SF? The only thing I know- noone escapes emptyhanded.

Hello peterbu
Welcome at CPF
As EDC, bright enough for the most tasks, I would take a L4 with 2-stage switch, powered by a LiIon-cell, 17670 protected and a DSD-charger.

The E2e with KL4 head and the L4 are the same light. I'd suggest going with the L4 with rechargables as was already mentioned. I would hold off on the 2-stage switch until you try the light and really feel that you need it.

If you want to EDC you may want to check out the JET-I, Fenix P1 or EDC Ultimate 60XR http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews_index/reviews_top_picks.htm
I want to echo what Long John posted.
I have both the KL1 head and the KL4 head.
The KL1 is not as bright as the KL4, and is a decent thrower. On the other hand the KL4 is a flood with little if any throw. I have put the KL4 on an Aleph body that accepts either 2 x 123's or 1x protected 17670. (Most of the time I EDC my KL4+Aleph setup.) Plus I have an Aleph 2-stage tailcap. Currently I have the KL1 on a Vital Gear 3 cell body, powered by 2x protected 17500 rechargeables. Another thing about my setup with the KL1 and Vital Gear body: I can run the light with easy-to-get alkaline AA's.
Verily I sayeth unto you in typical CPF style: Get both the KL1 and KL4!!
Hold on to your wallet and have fun!
