I am very impressed with this light. It was much lighter (sans battery) and thinner-walled than I expected, but the quality is superb. The natural color anodizing is more interesting than standard black and the LED color is slightly blueish as per normal "white" LED color - in short, excellent. Quick eyeballed comparision tests with my Photon II show them both to be about the same brightness and even close in color, though we all know which will stay brighter in the long term. Both lights had used batteries (I didn't use the supplied AAA that came with the ARC since I have older AAA's with usable power left) so the comparison is completely unscientific or noteworthy, except that one light is powered by a 1.5V battery and the other by two 3V lithiums. Very nice DC-DC step up circuit!
Anyway, that's about it.. just wanted to post my thoughts for any people still on the fence. Just get one!
Peter, thanks for making such a superb light!
