Hmm, I don't think so. If it was made by a modder I'd be more interested. Coming from a big company like Surefire it seems almost like buying a Swiss watch from the LVMH consortium. A very nice product to be sure, but the excitement is diminished by the number of intermediaries between the flashaholics who buy it and the flashaholics who design or build it. Buying flashlights this expensive is basically like buying artwork, and it's a lot more palatable when the expenditure is going straight to the source of the creativity, than going to some corporation with shareholders and marketing departments at the front end. The Surefire that interests me the most is the E1B.
