I do have one of the Wal-Marts 3 cell AA LED Maglites.
It is better than any other smallish LED light I have. I like it but feel uncomfortable with the on/off twist switch.
It has more than enough light for any purpose I have.

The E2L is at least 50% brighter especially at distance (scanning the brush for critters 20 30 yards away).
I was happy with the Maglite until I got the surefire. I am spoiled (ruined) now for any other light.

But.... I shouldn't have paid that much money for a light, the MagLight would have more than sufficed.
