I don't have to make the choice because I EDC both. It's wiser to have a backup light rather than rely on one. I keep the Freedom Photon on my keychain as my backup light which I avoid using except for the times I forget the Fenix, or the Fenix battery craps out. My Fenix puts out more light but the Freedom is impressive for it's size. I wouldn't feel comfortable carrying either by itself.

My two year old Freedom is getting very hard to actuate, I have to press the button very hard for several seconds to make it light and I sometimes have to press in different spots. Time for a new one. Which shows you can't rely on one light. If I had to choose I'd take a new Freedom light.
