I just got an LD22 today also...UPS came a day early, I love when that happens! Since I already have an LD10, I pretty much knew what to expect, but was anxious to try out the new side switch. I never liked going thru the modes using the LD10/20 tailswitch, but got used to it. And to be honest, I'm just not sure about the side switch on this LD22 either. And I wish it would tailstand like that LD10/20...what a mess, I like some features of each model. Oh and the momentary on...I need it...UGH!
I wish I could have an LD10/20 that had a memory to remember the the last mode used and momentary on. I think that would be my PERFECT light. Ok, now that I'm sitting here messing with both lights, I decided the side switch is too cumbersome. I grip the light and turn it on with my thumb anyway, so it's all ready to make some more clicks if necessary without changing grip. But then again, do I really need to use all the settings, all the time? I probably use turbo 95% of the time. So maybe my perfect light is the LD12/22 that can tailstand? I can't decide what I like!!
