I tried to post this twice last night and ended up with just an empty post.

I have been looking for a new light for about a month now, and stumbled across this forum in the process. I have had an E1L for a few years now and recently got a fenix E0D. When i first got the fenix I really liked how useful the beam was, much more useful for me than the E1L (without F04 diffuser). So it really made me question my E1L. I recently purchased a U2 from 'carpenter' in the marketplace... WHAT A LIGHT!!

So after all this I really am not happy with the beam produced with my E1L. My question is if the new KX1 head has the same type of beam as my older KL1. Does anyone have beamshots of both?

If it still produces the same hotspot with no spill I think I will be looking elsewhere for a single CR123 light, I have been eyeing the Fenix P2D but I always seem to get carried away and find myself looking at the Ra Twisty, or other expensive (but very nice) lights. The Ra and novatac also have a 1" bezel which will allow me to use my F04 diffuser on them, which i like the idea of.
