Got mine yesterday from Lighthound -great service - 2 days! The machining on the light is fantastic and you can tell there was time taken to make this. I really like the grippy knurling and it makes it very easy to turn the light on with one hand without slipping. HAIII matches perfectly on mine (And I am not one who makes a big deal if there is some slight mismatch). The color is a nice dark natural and is very close to the color of my NDI. Next to the NDI the Bitz looks better machined.
The tint is a very nice white and does not dissappoint. The emitter is perfectly centered. Looking down the reflector gives the impression that the emitter must be at an optimal focus point as the entire reflector becomes the phospor color. The reflector is also the largest that can fit in the head without any signs of the edges visible and looks good. The beam is smooth. I personally prefer the beam of the Cree emitters with a defined hot circle and spill as opposed to the SSC with more of a cone profile - but it is nice. A lot of other high end lights use the SSC.
I was afraid the bezel might be a little too much and did not really care for it. However, it is actually less noticable in real word and adds class to the light and I like it. The color of the titanium compliments the color of the HAIII. The light is nice and small making it very easy to pocket carry - similar in size to the IncenDio but shorter.
This is a first class light and I like it a lot. Very well made. Things to improve are as many others have stated - put the low-low in the main setting (but also keep the low). It is nice to have the low-low and I can see using it a lot.
Now - If an AA version comes out that is identical but slimmer!!!!!! I am all over that!! I really like the look of this light.
