Your Mag-Lite is better than any of mine! Both of my Surefires smoke all my Mags. My 3 D-cell mag isn't even close to as bright as my E1B even with new batteries, and the spot is total crap. Definitely not worth the size and weight. All of my Mag-lites are essentially doorstops or paperweights now. The only one I have much use for is the mini-mag, and I don't use it much since I got some little Chinese 1-AAA led lights from DealExtreme.

Which Surefire models are you using? I've never actually seen a Fenix in person so I don't know how they are.
