I've had an A2 w/red LED's for 2 years now, and I bought a Kroma last fall when they came out. Two weeks later I traded it for another A2, w/yellow-green LED's. Why? Several reasons:
1. I just could not get used to the bluish "white" high beam. LED's are fine for low level stuff and when you need a colored light, but I hate them for high beam. Give me an incan for high white any day of the week.
2. Diameter of the body and especially of the head. You just can't tuck a Kroma into your back pocket next to your wallet, like you can with the A2. I also like the "cheaper" pocket clip much better on the A2. It seems to me to do a much better job of keeping the light clipped where you put it, without moving around, than the K2 clip.
3. I personally don't need all of the color choices the Kroma offers. They are nice, but not necessary for MY uses. Yellow-green is perfect for me because MY need is for a very low-level, low beam that doesn't attract alot of attention at night, and yellow-green is almost as good as blue for enhancing contrast for reading maps etc. with as little extra light as possible. Actually, if the Kroma was smaller, and only had the low red and low blue, I might have kept it.
Some other personal opinions: Why does everyone want to use rechargeable batteries in a light designed for primaries? I understand saving money, but primaries are so much more reliable. They don't self-discharge, and you sure don't have to jack around with all this B.S. about "are the cells protected or not?" or "do I have to let them sit for some amount of time after I charge them, before I use them?" or "do I have to stop using the light when the beam starts to get dimmer?" You folks who carry a light every day need to consider that if it's important enough to carry the light every day, then isn't it just as important that it works properly? Or is it just a toy to show your friends? And who cares what color the finish is, or how "cool looking" the light is? Function over form is the rule when it comes to survival equipment. That sounds like the guy who wouldn't jump into the lake to save his drowning girlfriend because he didn't want his hair to get messed up! And lastly, I've been using Surefire and Mag incadescent lights in the law enforcement profession for the past 15 years. All of that time on the street, so the lights see alot of use, and I have only had ONE bulb failure due to dropping the light, and that was with the Mag Charger. I have had maybe two other bulb failures in Surefire lights where the bulbs basically burned out prematurely due to manufacturing defect, and were replaced by Surefire. But I was covered at work because I always carry a backup light. Incidently, I also always carry a backup gun, and a cell phone to backup my police radio, because it is the prudent thing to do with ANY important piece of equipment. ANYTHING man-made is subject to failure. I'm sure that LED lamp are no exception. What I'm trying to say here is that I'm sure LED's have a lower failure rate than incans, but incans are still VERY reliable.
Sorry to stray off the topic. The Kroma is a neat light, and if it fits YOUR mission better, then get it. They are both pretty much equal in my opinion.
