Hello everyone, I have a couple questions about what you guys recommend for a good 4sevens match for the Fenix Headbands as well as the Quark "X" AA2 Tactical vs. the Quark AA2 Tactical. These are my thoughts so far: I was on the 4sevens site last night looking at the Quark "X" AA2 Tactical and the Quark AA2 Tactical. In your opinion, is the increase in brightness on the "X" model worth the step down in run times? I ask because in some cases, we find that unless there is a large increase in lumen output, that it can be difficult to see differences, and if that is the case, why not opt for longer burn time.... Secondly, on a more compact level, the Mini 123 seems to be getting a lot of press. However I see the Mini "X" as well, but the lumen output is so similar to the Mini 123; it seems like the tradeoff in run times is not worth the cost difference. However, I also saw the "No clip" Quark 123 R5 edition, and correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that is not only brighter than the mini 123, but more versatile as far as modes, and has longer run times (except max mode) as well? (I was going to buy a couple of regular Quark AA's for the headbands but the output seems low for outdoors at night unless I use AW 14500 cells, but that seems like a hassle to constantly worry about overcharging them and worrying constantly about discharging them too far below a certain voltage).... Thank you in advance, Marine
