First off this site is great! Thanks for all the info. I can see how it could easily become dangerous/addictive.
I like to go wilderness backpacking and kayaking so I'm looking for a light that can get wet, take abuse, be lite(weight!) and get cold(I live in MN where the cold wind blows.) I was going to order a SF E2DL 200L until I saw the "must have" list and checked out the HDS-ED 170L hmmmm... any big advantages one over the other. I can get the SF for $149+free batteries or the HDS for $189. Also, if I go for the HDS there is the saphire lens option $31 and the titanium bezel $23 for a total of $243. Is the saphire lens worth it and is the ti bezel mostly show or does it add significant strenth and subtract weight? Thanks for any illuminating thoughts.
