I grabbed this on a whim, with the understanding that this is a long range spot. I have a Acebeam Terminator M1 and a Nitecore P35I. The range on this light is incredible. I can hit buildings from the roof of my office building that you can't actually see in the dark because of the distance. The color temperature is a bit odd, but appears to get cooler/bluer at longer distances. The included color filters are fun. Especially since I have a friend with the same light, we re-enact starwarz with them. From a overall usage standpoint, ehhhh..... I don't really know what you would use it for as the beam is exceptionally narrow. The other two mentioned lights have flood features. I did 3d print a 'diffuser' which gives the light significantly more utility. There is a LOT of dust on the inside lens and the end user cannot remove it without taking apart the head of the flashlight. That is beyond my pay grade, and it has not affected the beam (in my eyes).
