The motive is definitely to silence new product knowledge or discussion.
And why do this if it was not considered harmful to the business in some way.
My guess is they want to milk the older lights for all they've got. And to do that you need to keep the hype and talk about 'NEW' products to a minimum.
Look at their 'spotlight'. There's a frigin 6P in there. They're treating the KLx series like a dirty little secret.
I don't quite follow your logic that "If they thought [new products] hurt sales, all new products would be on their website."
Wouldn't that be "If they thought [new products] hurts sales, [only old products] would be on their website"
Because thats exactly what they are doing. Try a search for KL2 on their web site.. Nothing.
btw, I personally don't think that new product discussion hurts sales. I know it motivates the heck out of me. I just saying that thats what surefire is thinking. It's the only motive that makes sense with their current behaviour.

Actually in retrospect, maybe it really DOES hurt sales. I recently had my Z3 stolen. I have not replaced it since I was planning on getting the KL3 for my M2.
