So I have a BLF A6 that I mod'd by replacing the stock emitter with a "NICHIA 219B NVSL219BT-V1 4000k sw40 d220 L2 r9080"
This is the nearest match to the "SST-20 4000K review":https://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?461573-Review-SST-20-in-FW3A-is-divine! I just posted yesterday.
As you see below, the 219b hug the BBL very well until you get to Turbo. To be fair, I probably shouldn't be turbo-ing these things. But they have low output by design, so I can't resist. CCT, Tint, and CRI all go to heck on turbo. Please note, the Moon/Low/Med output levels are customized on this flashlight. The reports each detail what the FET and 7135's are set to in the firmware.

So these things leave me with either low output, or low quality light. Therefore the SST-20 reign supreme for me.
