I am considering purchasing a X1 40w but am wondering if it worth the extra $ over the SR90. A friend has a SR90 and it's impressive. Will the X1 blow it away? The L70 is also in the running. Which would you rather have as a "toy"? I have no special needs other than fun at night. Knowing that this comparison is apples and oranges in terms of throw vs spill, will I be much more wowed as the price goes up; or is it a case of diminishing returns? Smaller size is a plus but not determinate. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks HJK. Have looked at these beam-shots and reviews but am hoping someone has or has seen two or all three of these. It's hard to get "the bigger picture" from these pictures.

I do not understand what you mean, I believe that the beamshot covers two of them?
Here is some pictures from the above beamshot:

There are also pictures with other distances and access to larger versions of all the pictures.

Thanks. Do you think the Polarion at 40 w is much brighter than the Olight? Does the extra lumens of the X1 answer the question?

Any 35W HID sends out more light (lumen) than the SR90, but the SR90 has a very good throw (lux).
