"I specifically chose it over the PC series because I wanted one with just a HIGH and LOW. Generally I avoid lights with a zillion different modes; I don't want them or need them, and they drive up the price of the light and make it harder to use IMOHO. So far I've never once used SOS or strobe nor wished I had them. I guess I can imagine a scenario where they'd be useful but when it comes to light I like the KISS approach! "

+1.
I agree totally.
All I need is a light with Hi and Lo capabilities. Nothing more.

I also like AA batteries - for the simple reason that you can buy them in most parts of our planet. You can't get always get the high grade alkaline ones, but you can get some kind of AA. The CR123 are fine for use in USA or Europe, but not easy to lay your hands on in third world locations.
