I own six Maratac 1xAAA LED torches from Countycomm and have given at least six more away as gifts. Many of these are 4 or 5 years old and still work great. The version I own put out 80 lumens and cost $25. I just checked and saw Countycomm has an R3 version that puts out 138 lumens for $30. Of course I had to order 2.

It would be a hard stretch to imaging a significant improvement in the light pattern from Streamlight. Of course 300 lumens from the Titan Plus is impressive, but I can't think of why I'd need that much light out of that form factor. Except, perhaps, temporarily blind myself or my cat.

One thing I think you can't appreciate unless you've used it is the 1.5 lumen mode. It's plenty enough light to see where your walking on a moonless night. Although I normally also carry a Fenix LD12 or PD30, a Maratac is always in my pocket, usually with another one or three at close hand.
