For Fenix I buy from FenixStoreDOTcom, there a reputable dealer in the marketplace, so is FenixOutfitters.

As for which one you should get, what's important to you?
Throw vs flood, button location, looks? The TK35 is floodier of the two so I'd probably pick it. If throw or look was important I'd get the Rofis tr51
there of similar build quality according to what I've read, I pick Fenix because I own and like the brand

If I were you I'd read the reviews and visualize the use of each one with there UI's.

TR51 is smaller, throwier, at least equally bright, has side switch (easier to find) and is about $10-15 cheaper. You can buy one in Manafont store for $94 shipped worldwide.

Or you could try one of the many TK35 clones from reputable CPFMP dealers such as DX or CNQG ;)
~30$ only with FREE shipping. i think they are worth a try.

Well, the clones are not junk but they're not nearly as btight as the iriginal, they don't have memory and on lower modes PWM is easily visible. Not bad for $30, not even close to the original.

The best advice and true CPF nature, is buy both. Do a thread up on which you like and why, then sell the one you don't like in the marketplace for near what you payed. It's the best way not to second guess yourself. Try both ;)

Yeah buy both! But get the Fenix Tk35 v2 first. :)
