Here is my thoughts on Surefire...

Are they overpriced??? That depends. Is a Mercedes or BMW overpriced compared to a Chevy?

That is the essence of the argument. Surefire lights are top-notch, but at a top-notch price. You can certainly find lights that perform almost as well for a lot less. But if you want that little extra bit of style, performance, and reliability, then you have to drop big coin for a Surefire.

You just have to ask yourself: are you a BMW guy, or a Chevy guy...

Just my $0.02

**EDIT**
Disclaimer: I am a Chevy guy. If I had over $100 to drop on gear, there are things that I can use worse than a Surefire. I already have an Arc LS-L, Arc AAA, PT Attitude, Twintask 2L, PT Blast, Tigerlight, Hummer Shake Light, and a few others...
