Yes, yet another guy asking for help deciding on a light. I've been contemplating a new light and think I've narrowed it down to the Fenix TK11, that is until I saw the Olight M20 Warrior. I am seriously considering that M20; is it a good buy and should AI get the additional polished reflector? Or, should I stay with my first choice of the Fenix and why? Thanks in advance for helping out a newbie. BTW, here's where I saw the Olight:

I'm not sure what the R2 wd black color option is though.

R2 is the LED's flux bin(output/efficiency bin) and is the best one available for the Cree XR-E and XP-E(same die as the XR-E but much smaller total footprint). WD is the tint bin. This thread might help.

Color is the color of the light.

The M20 has a bit more throw because of the larger reflector(narrower beam), with the smooth reflector it should have a good bit more throw then the TK11.

The M20 has more modes and has a clip but the Tk11 is simpler because it has less modes.

They are both around the same size.
