Well, see it this way...
CPF often has access to information above and beyond most of the market. In this case, apparently, beyond what Surefire's front-line customer service people know, as well. You need to be careful when using this information - it has had negative consequences in the past. I'm not saying that you did it, but don't make a nuisance when asking for a new, unreleased product.
Also, we're lucky to have this information but it also means we have to wait like everybody else till the product becomes available. Knowing earlier means waiting longer.. but good things come to those who wait /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
