Before I get flamed, let me start by saying that I love my Arc4+ and think it is a fantastic state-of-the-art flashlight. But here is my problem-- I bought the Arc4+ with the understanding that this was the best 1W light Arc Flashlight could make in terms of output and tint. In light of Peter's post about the Arc4x, I now I find out that it is not even close to the best Arc can do. I paid a premium to get what I thought was the best, but I feel like my brand new Arc4+ is already dated. I wish I had known about the Arc4x before I plunked down my 180 bucks.
I still want the best light I can get from Arc, but now I don't know what to do. I could return my Arc4+ and hope to get an Arc4x on eBay in what is sure to be a feeding frenzy. Or I can keep what I have knowing Arc is already making a much better light. I guess I will keep my Arc4+, try to get an Arc4x, and sell the Arc4+ if I get a 4x for a reasonable price.
I was just curious how the other Arc4+ owners felt about this. I for one am disappointed that my Arc4 "premium" is already second rate.
