I don't own a BB or MB but this is my impression on them. The BB is like a 200 lumens Surefire. And the MB is like your 3D cell maglite. The 3D cell maglite puts out very little light, but can throw far and has adjustable beam. Throw to donut. The Surefire will not throw as far but will light up a huge area.
Good example, I got to play around with both on Saturday night.
The Maxabeam would light a small circle on the rock over 500 yards away better then anything but the tank light that was making the whole rock look like daylight when it was around 1200 yards away.
The Barn Burner lit the whole peak nice and the hill up to the peak and the field in front of the hill.
The LarryK did all of those very noticeably better. It was rather fun because once people saw the Barn Burner and were impressed I said,
"Yeah, but it's not that bright, BVH why don't you bring out your real bright light." When he turned on the LarryK everybody was REAL impressed, until they heard the run time
