Surefire Flashlights: 2 cell vs. 3 cell

Hi everyone! This is my first post on this forum after finding out about you guys from bladeforum.com. I had know idea anyone else had my sickness for flashlights like I do.

Anyway, my questions are: I'm looking for a couple of new flashlights and have a few quick questions:

1: ARC LS vs. X5: Which would you guys recommend/prefer?

2: A friend of mine has a Streamlight Scorpion and although impressed, I was leaning towards a 2 or 3 cell Surefire instead. My questions are: A) How does the Surefire 2 cell match up to a Scorpion and B) is a 3 cell Surefire worth the extra bucks for the added brightness? or at this point (a 3 cell) do I just lean towards one of Surefire's rechargeable units.

Thanks for the help.

Buy all of them. That's the only right thing to do. If you can't do that, I'd recommend the ARC LS and the SureFire E2E, G2Z and M6.
