Surefire 6p vs surefire e2e bk

[Howecollc]

Replacement lamps from Lumens Factory cost about the same for each. While the larger reflector of the 6P may give it a slight advantage in throw, the output and quality of the beams will be the same. The e2e kills the 6P in all other considerations. The E series lights are totally superior when it comes to size, looks, fit, finish, and feel.

If you ever intend to pocket carry the light, I would highly recommend the E2e over the 6P. The quarter-inch difference in bezel diameter is much more noticeable than you might expect. There are plenty of economical bulb options available through Lumens Factory, but the stock MN03 bulb itself is great, and produces a nice round beam that is perfect for most everyday uses. As most of the others mentioned, the E2e fits very nicely in your hand, too.

I prefer the three cell P-series lights over the two cell variants. They are much more versatile, due to more bulb/battery configurations, and the two cell P-series lights are too big to pocket, anyway.

Upgrade options are endless, definately get the 6P!

Who would choose an options laden Fiat over a Ferrari if the cost were the same?

Probably few, and while both lights are good lights as they are, I prefer the form factor of the E2E enough that I still choose it over the other.
