For the record, if anyone is thinking about upgrading their Archer 1A, I thought I'd share my experience. I recently picked up a Thrunite 1Av3 in neutral white to compare to my 1Av2 nw, and although I like some of the features on the V2 better (like the better pocket clip and stainless steel bezel), I have to say the quality of the beam itself, and the color rendition of the v3 is head and shoulders above the v2. The v3 is also just a little smaller than the v2 which makes it carry ever so slightly better in the pocket.
I would NOT choose the v3 over the v2, based on small size difference.
I WOULD choose the v2 over the v3 for the pocket clip and stainless bezel.
BUT, the beam is so much nicer in color and perceived brightness on the v3 that I HAVE chosen the v3 over the v2 for my edc flashlight. So there you have it...
