...Edit about 2 hrs later...decided on the more compact S200C2vn!!! Can't wait to get it! Thanks Vinh
Good choice! This is the best jacket pocket or rifle mounted thrower I have. Mine's the s200vnT in xml2. The "T" option is totally worth the extra $35 if you can swing it. I got it because I wasn't crazy about the 2 handed UI for this particular light. Other, bigger lights it's fine but for this one and its uses switching modes with the tail cap is the way to go. The extra brightness over the regular vn model doesn't hurt either! The T upgrade model hasn't been tested by JMPaul320 yet but I agree with the sentiments of the other T owners that it's almost as bright as the direct drive model.
I'm going to go look for the numbers Justin posted and post it here in a few min.
