specialk,
I don't have a PolyStinger. I do have a SuperStinger and a SF8X. The hotspot of my Surge is brighter than both of those lights. The Surge beam is similar in shape and smoothness to the 8X.
The Surge is well worth the money.
By the way, Owen posted that there is a textured reflector now available for the Stingers that greatly improves the the smoothness of their beam.
Regards,
Greg

My Polystinger with the new reflector has a much better beam than my Surge. They are very similar in brightness my surge has a problem with the bulb not staying put and I have heard of others doing the same. The Stinger is a much better light IMHO.

ok i have checked my polystinger, and it has the textured reflector, no wonder my other friend who has an older polystinger has a different focus hotspot than mine, but i will take my stinger to the store and compare it to the pt surge side by side and see the differences, btw i found the pt surge at a local diving shop.
