I recently bought a fenix e20, a little cheaper and quite good. I also have several streamlight yellow aa polymer flashlights, about 21 each, and if I was going to be lending my flashlights out, that’s what I would choose.
I was looking at the E20 also which is $50.00 here and I have a $15.00 credit with MEC (equivalent Canadian store to REI in the USA) so it would bring the purchase down to $35.00
