Don’t get me wrong - the ALL-88 is hugely flexible/powerful, and 8 at once is great, and I think you will like it. I’d be okay an 8 slot version of the 2 slot Nitecore I have.
Richard I was wondering if you were going to carry the Supfire M2-Z - Side Clicky Flashlight with XP-E I think,
I thought this was a great light for the price, made good gifts.
I used to carry it---wasn't very popular at all. Stopped carrying it.
Just a quick update on things:
You all have probably noticed that I've been a bit quieter here lately. A few months ago I broke my tibia (big bone in the lower leg), cracked some ribs, and injured my shoulders. A few weeks after that, I fell down on the crutches and broke my wrist. Needless to say, it made working difficult and so even though I could still keep up with orders, I wasn't as fast as usual and couldn't work as long so I was trying to keep to the bare minimum as far as any other flashlight stuff was concerned while I was healing.
I'm back walking again---only with a little limp, and my wrist is still in the brace and will be for a few weeks, but its strength is coming back as well. Shoulders still hurt when placing a lot of parts or doing a lot of soldering, but they are getting better every day. I'd say I'm back to around 90%.
----------------------------
And no, I haven't forgotten about the 4000 post giveaway...just delayed due to the aforementioned. 
Glad to hear you are mending! Nothing’s more important than your health. Be well.
I’ll hold off on my 26650 order for another week or so. Those are kinda heavy! 
Wow, Richard I’m glad you healed up fairly fast,
I surely did suspect something was seriously wrong on your end and I guess so, wow.
Re: the Supfire M2’s, yes looking at them from a flashaholic’s point of view they weren’t much that’s for sure, but giving them away as gifts with the single bay charger you had to people who knew nothing about lights, well they were absolutely amazed, but definitely understandable about dropping them when stock is gone, thanks for the info.
I really am glad to hear your coming along and your health is improving, I do wish you the best and complete recovery…!!
Just a recollection, one thought I had about you was a four wheeling accident for some reason, I think I had looked at one of your light bars,
Take it slow Richard…!
That sounds like it hurt . We know you didn’t trip in the dark. Get well.
really sorry Richard for your accident. Glad to hear you are on the mend.
patrick -
Goodness, Richard! Glad to hear you’re on the mend.
All the best for a speedy recovery Richard. I hope you were a good patient for SWMBO. 
Yow, that’s a lot to deal with all at once. I hope everything will heal well without any significant lasting side effects.
Take it slow and easy, that last 10% matters most!
Please don’t rest until my order has shipped.
Wow.
You know that was joking don’t ya? ^ Ship my D4s when you’re damned good and ready. Heal up, and welcome to the near crippled up club. (I’ve just started doing PT for my knee, please don’t ask, OK, I screwed it up) 
And right now not doing PT but wine drinking and internet slagging, which might explain my last post too:-)
But well wishes coming your way, do the work they tell ya to do, stay off of it if that’s the game and you’ll be back to 100 percent soon.
Whats going on with the Green color for the D4? Not showing as an option, nor at I-O either.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Richard!! we will save the rest for later, the giveaway and whatnot can wait 
Wow, just read about your accidents, sorry to hear…wishing you a speedy and full recovery!
Dang Richard! Here’s to a speedy recovery! Take it easy!
Wow sorry to hear Richard! Hope for a quick recovery!
