Yes, I will buy it over the incandescent.
Surefire is top hat, you can count on their lumens output to be "real" and not exagerated like others lights.
They are a little conservative in using the new modules, but those modules are too new to be really proven.
They are American made and the warranty is superb, many new lights that are showing now in the market are made in China and will dissapear soon.
The only serious company (that I know) that can offer serious competition is the Fenix.
Fenix will be good quality for less money as they are made in China.
Also Fenix works with the new Q-5 modules that throw higher lumens.
