The level separation is not the greatest but I will probably get one.

I agree,  the mid level to high was spaced odd.  If there was a 60-110 added in that would be awesome.

Nice to see flutting on the head and not that aggressive knurling most flashlights come with. And yes, I would prefer a bit higher mid mode, 30-40 maybe.

Not sure if it's worth the 20$ price difference with the T20S, though...

Seems a bit much, just for a titanium body.

I do prefer it.  Just that much lighter.  Not as tough though.  The stainless is a fine light.  The ti is just lighter.  It means something to me but some prefer a more "solid" feel.

I'm referring to the t10 (AA) version.  Expect an aluminum T20 in the future too.  I have the AA version and like it.

Seems a bit pricey for what you get.

For the AA version (same as CR123).

T10 = aluminum = $30
T10S = Stainless = $40
T10T = Titanium = $60

Pricing seems pretty fair.  Worldwide shipping I think. What is your reference for price?

Well first off, I prefer aluminum for its lightness. The last time I paid $60 for a light, I got one with 4 modes max 950 lm. I feel I more than got my money's worth on that and use it often. It's my favorite light (Nitecore P12). :2tu:

Have you seen the torture tests on the SS T10?  This light has impressed me with what owners have done to it.  I like the SS one but just havent pulled the trigger just yet and it has been in my cart long enough.

I haven't but the stainless will be very heavy. I also don't care for the mode selection very much on those. I'm just not that rough on my lights to require stainless or Ti.

Yeah.  Most are not THAT heavy on their lights.  It all depends on if you want stainless or Ti etc.

Value is debatable.  Most Ti lights are $75 and up, they are rarely "worth it" depending on sense of value.  I have a modded McGizmo Haiku (value ranges from $350-500).  I love it, but value for it is hard to understand.  I prefer ti lights for many reasons, but value is debatable.

You know, like why a fancy coloured Alox SAK is worth $120 vs a plain one for $25.  Value is all dependent on too many factors to be absolute.

I'm not a big Ti junkie.  I do dig the SS tho and dont mind the extra weight.  Thrunite mode spacing is not my favorite in all honesty.  It would be nice if they added one mode higher than the 20.  I'd prefer 40-80, I do really like the firefly modes tho.
