My only other quality flashlight was a Inova T3. The P2D Q5 has much better beam quality, less rings. It is also much brighter. The threads and finish are high quality. I think the only reason people question fenix quality is because they are lightweight, but that is the intened design. Glad I finally bought the P2D, I was very leary having been burnt on cheap chinese goods recommended on other hobbyist forums (not flashlights.) Thanks to CPF's for bringing a dream EDC flashlight to my attention.
