WHAT?!

You can NOT be serious?!
Please can you explain?
Just because they are both anodised Aluminium?
The components & effort that goes into SureFires obviously far exceeds that of MagLites. This is clear just from looking at it, and then you take it to bits and a SureFire has the details and the professional finish that screams quality, durability, performance.
Also, as pointed out, SureFire Executive Series flashlights are not tacticallights, and don't have the beam characteristics SureFire have developed to provide optimum beam characteristics in tactical environments.
Yes, SureFire Tactical & WeaponLight Illumination Tools require much training, practice and experience to give operators the advantage. Like other tools in a specialist operator's inventory.
SureFires cost what they do because you don't just buy the best illumination tools in the World. You buy the experience, the investment, the support, the continual development and exploration that no other company offers.
The E2 is more then a flashlight, it's a SureFire, and that's worth paying for.
(It's worth paying for the E2e but that's my opinion based on experience)
