Pros

+1,000 lumens and 13,000 candela is class-leading output for a subcompact light
+Dual fuel: rechargeable SFRCR123 included, or any SF123A primary as a backup
+Front-loading battery port behind the bezel means no dismount for a battery swap
+Lockout feature blocks accidental activation in a bag or during travel

Cons

−Priced above full-size lights like the X300U-A
−45-minute runtime on high with the rechargeable cell
−Fitment is limited to the four rail sets SureFire publishes
−New enough that the holster ecosystem is still filling in
