Got my X1 after a 6 month backorder from Meridian. First impression: nice build. Solid like the X5. Nice switch. Second impression - Use testing: Got to send this thing back. I can't imagine a use for a light with these characteristics. 1. Beam is so tight that even looking through my basement shelves was a chore as I had to keep scanning the spot hither and yon just to light stuff up so I can see it. This is a direct result of the optics and complete lack of spill light. 2. The beam is so dim that by the distance that it takes to form a useful spot (about 2-3' diameter) the light is too dim to be of much use.
A better choice? The CMG Infinity Ultra. Probably about the same output, more useful light spot, regulated, cheaper.
