Tint Shift across the illumination pattern of a torch is a deal-breaker for me. I don't know why but it really bugs me. Apparently some folk don't notice it at all. I would have recommended the Maxtoch HC33 as a replacement for the OP's torch, as it has the same layout as the torch being replaced - with the lens offset at one end, and end switch placement, but the Cree XHP LED in that model has a horrible high intensity blue spot right in the centre of what is otherwise a generally more green wider pattern.
