Got an S2+ from GB. The light looks nice, but when I opened it up...I smelled...cheap! Aluminum pill w/ press fit driver retaining ring and an aluminum switch retaining ring also!!

Same here. I wonder what Simon has to say about these. Are they some kind of Convoy knockoff? It’s supposed to have brass pill and retainer rings. The box is different and they sent me a cool white instead of a 4C neutral white.
Other colors would be nice… especially purple. Deep dark primary purple or dark magenta plum purple, not some light pastel shade. There are far too few purple lights in the world. And dark turquoise.
I have a red S2+ with a XP-G2 triple, 10508 optic, and FET+1 driver, and it’s one of my nicest lights. 0.3 lm on moon, 2250 lm on turbo. Great flooder, and the best biking light I’ve ever tried. I’d totally make more if it came in other good colors.
Would also be nice to see a version designed to hold a triple without a spacer. It could be shorter, and the top of the pill would need to be flat instead of recessed, with a hole only in the center. Would probably also need the top of the pill to be a bit thicker.
Here's a pic of the driver on the $12.99 Red S2+ from GB, definitely looks press fit to me. It also pulled only 2.02A at the tail on a 25R...probably a 6*7135 configuration.
