Got my L0P-SE today, thanks, 4Sevens 
Fit and finish, excellent, as is par for the course with Fenix, the little wooden box it comes in is a nice touch
this one has a slight yellowish tint to it, but it's actually quite pleasant actually, as it gives an incan-ish depth to the subject being illuminated, it's a very incan-ny LED
as for how it compares directly with other Fenixes (Fenii?)?
(all photo exposure settings were locked in using the L1P as the reference light)
it's *slightly* dimmer than the L1P, but has a larger hotspot
L1P;
L0P-SE on High (setting 3);
It's also *slightly* dimmer than the E1, but has a much smoother beam, the E1 has a tighter hotspot;
E1;
L0PS-SE on Medium (the default setting)
It's even slightly dimmer than the E0!, but has a much better balanced beam, much whiter than the "Angry Blue" E0
looks like Fenix has another winner here, and once again i'm torn as to how to EDC this one, i *could* put it on my keyring, but it seems a shame to subject such a nice little light to keyring abuse, i may end up carrying it in the change pocket of my jeans instead....
the L0P-SE has knocked the E1 and E0 out of my EDC array, actually, i'll keep the E0 on the keyring, but i have no reason to carry the E1 anymore, it goes into the Box O' Lites for backup purposes
Here are some side-by-side (well, over/under, actually) pics...
