Which would you choose per the following criteria:



-e3s has the UI I prefer is 20 lumens brighter, but will the xp-g r4 heat up noticeably faster in SS body than it will in the bk135as Al body? FYI as a point of reference I found the L4 a little too hot, too fast. Will either both or neither get as hot as fast than that one?



-The bk135a is a little smaller much lighter than the e3s, Ill take black Al over shiny SS.



-I've never messed with a programmable light before- I'd have to be able to reprogram the IBS' level C to a constant brightness level, then hopefully never see the hidden menus again.



-which would have the longest constant regulation on high, with energizer lithiums (and possibly eneloops)?



Was also waiting on the SC51 but looks like ZebraLight caved in the 11th hour, or sometime after selfbuilt's review of the prototype they changed the modes. So now it's down to these two jetbeams for me- unless I'm missing something new which IYO would be best?



Thanks!
