Okay, I had my mind set on the LOD as my new keychain EDC...until I saw the ORB RAW Cree. What a beautiful light!

If anyone has both, how much bulkier is the ORB than the LOD? Are there any pic comparisons of both these anywhere by chance (or of ORB VS LOP-SE)?

And finally - is the Ns version worth the extra $ to be more scratch resistant, considering it will be on my keychain?

Thanks!!

Comparison pic of an Orb Ns Vs. a Fenix P1 can be seen at flashlightreviews. (I haven't seen a comparison with a L0D):

I'm debating between the Raw and Ns as well. The Raw now comes with a Cree standard with no extra cost. However the Ns still requires additional work to put a Cree in, so not only is the Ns 15 UK pounds more (with 2 stage switch), but also 20 UK pounds for the Cree option.

There is no comparison, Orb Raw for its quality, performance, size, and the "cool" factor, unless you are short on cash.

NS is even smaller and uses rare 1/2 AA, shorter run time + slightly lower output
