+ good ergonomics and weight balance
- full stabilization in modes
- Not overheated like as K30 and H10
- Good and simple UI with fast access to moonlight and turbo and memory
- USB rechargeable
- with spacer can use 20700/21700 (new 21700 have 5000+ mAh)
- very close to neutral 5000K as declared
- not have indications to power level in accumulator
- not fully color smooth like as a MT-G2, but not bad
- too long bezel
