They vary a lot in quality of tint and thread tightness. I bought 3, picked the best tint, and best lux, then swapped battery tubes to get the best twisty tension. When you get it right, they are wonderful. Gift the rest to non-flashoholics. They're a big hit. I included mini-CR2's in the count also....BTW- my mini-123 lowest was 3700 lux, highest 4200 lux. The highest also had the whitest tint.

Only one, a QMini 123, so far, but I did get the AA model for my brother. May just have to get one of the warm tint AA's for myself, or possibly the CR2. Hard to fault these little jewels.

One each of the Al 123, AA, and CR2. They are all great and the color is pure white, even slightly on the warm side for the CR2, but I think I like the CR2 best since it's so tiny. I use all of them on Li-ions with no problem. Amazing amount of light for such small flashlights, on li-ions.

One Ti CR2, sold my Ti 123... 123 is the best "spare battery carrier" out there, IMHO. Aluminum 123 coming soon for just that purpose. :D That was meant as a compliment , BTW. Compact and sturdy! To take nothing away from the light as it is, makes a great backup.

5 for our household.
2 mini AA
2 Mini 123
1 mini cr2 (on its way)

2 warm, 2 cool and 1 neutral.

All have been great with good threads except 1 of the AA. It abruptly stopped working. I have contacted 4sevens and waiting for their reply to send it back. We have been very happy with the minis even with this issue.

The quality control of the mini is very poor. You can have sloppy threads, tight threads, mode bouncing, or a unit that is actually perfect. What I don't get is why they just can't consistently improve the quality control?
My first unit was so sloppy I sent it back. The second one was even worse. Yet people just rave about this light. I am not going to bother with this company any more till they can improve the quality consistently.
