I've had my share of lights,too! A new Destroyer in red just arrived, and I think it will be useful for certain applications. For sheer volume and distance, Lightforce and Magnalights have it hands down in their price range! I've been using a Smartlight for scanning for the past year, instead of the LF Walkabout, just because it keeps my hands free, and saves about seven pounds of walkaround weight. I won't sell the Lightforce Walkabout though! I still use it some, for long range spotting.
It boils down to your style of hunting and your terrain and distances. If you go with the LF or Magnalight, buy a halo shield from Boondock Outdoors for it.....you won't be sorry!
