I have two T2s an X03 and a T1 and cannot imagine any of them having any kind of catestrophic failure at the lense without a very healthy dose Mr. Murphy's special magic.
I have carried my T1 lots in pockets with knives, keys and change banging the lense and it doesn't show even a scratch.

I have never had a flashlight lense fail. Glass, plastic etc. Now I have had flashlights where I would worry about the lense melting(plastic) but never worried about a lense breaking.
The T1 lense is so small that I would think you would have to apply force, almost purposly, in order to do any real damage.
I don't think a T1 is going to leave you stranded in the dark unless you plan on using it to stop a bullet.

No difference. The outer glass is just there to protect the TIROS. It doesn't do any focusing.

My T1 slammed into concrete a while back and while it did sustain significant cosmetic damage (even the stainless steel bezel ring got nicked up and a bit bent) the lense is still flawless and the light works like new. The annodize on Inova's lights isn't as thick as some others, but the build quality and reliablily are rock solid.
