Thought I'd toss in my thoughts after getting my first real flashlight since a mini-mag many many years ago. Maybe other noobs will find this helpful.
I could not be happier with these 2 lights as my EDC:
The new clip is what finally sold me on the Fenix. I liked the Fenix UI but HAD to have a clip to keep it from bouncing around in my pocket. I do wish the clip held the light a lower in the pocket though. The clip also makes it easier to hold on to.
The common complaint of the Fenix is that the low isn't low enough. This mini Victorinox has a nice low-level white LED and is a perfect companion to the LD10. (the pen and scissors get used all the time)
P.S. the wifey stopped smirking when I was first to an auto accident out front of our house one night. My light was brighter than the cop's.

- Fenix LD10 (new, with clip)
- Victorinox Signature Lite (#53186): White LED, pen, scissors, etc.
