After my E2 I need a reel bright flashlight. I know the answer: M6. M6 is the benchmark, M6 is the God. But the price. I found it at the chiepest place for $260. Or how about a 9P with a P91. It could cost about $110. And the P91 isn't so bad is it? Please help me to decide!

Actually, at 500 lumens (even 200 lumens), if you stare at its beam...you will look back.

Aladdin,

The 9P with P91 one is very impressive.
In fact the beam looks like a junior version of the M6.

Your decision: do you want Junior or Senior?

But... One you can put in your pocket, and the other you can't...

So you may as well get a holster for the M6 while you're at it.

The truth is, that I don't want to use the M6 or the P91, I just want to own it for fun. I don't use my E2 too, I just simple love it. (Oh, am I sick, no I'm a flashaholic

) The Inova X5 is the light what I carry with me 24/7.

Look at the Spotlight forum. You want bright! 1 million CP, 2 Million CP, 3 Million CP.

They all have a 20 - 40 minute run time, they are re-chargable so that you don't have an ongoing battery cost.

Hi BuddTX
Two reasons to buy M6:
1:the size
2:the name
and that's it

I agree!

Here are Three reasons why NOT to buy it:

1. Expensive
2. Short Run time
3. Lots of 123 batteries

He already said that he didn't want to spend a lot of money, and this was just for fun.

I'd love to have an m6, but they are 350 $.

Yes, my Optronics 2 million CP light will not fit in my pocket,. but it was like 60 bucks, it bright as, well, 3 mil CP (duh!) and it is rechargable.

And honestly, I would really like to see a comparison between my Optronics 2 mil CP and an M6. While bowing to the SureFire gods, I really think my Optronics 2 mil CP could hold it's own!

Two things.
1: I don't like chiep lamps
2: with a H3 12V 55W or 100W bulb everybody can make a 1 or 2 or 3 Mcp lamp. It's not a big deal.
