Why do you guys want the XP-L HI? At least according to Cree’s data sheets it lumens wise is much inferior to the regular XP-L HD’s top flux bins. But Dale’s curious result in his Meteor put that slightly in to question, so i look forward to when djozz will push & measure the HI to the edge. But the A6 is a OP reflector light, so what is the point of more throw? I actually will try some DC-fix on mine to get an even smoother beam, before i upgrade it to a triple that is

I guess it comes down to a preference between a few lumens sacrifice (~150Lm) for greater throw (~200m). My personal thoughts are that on an emitter already pushing out >1000Lm, the loss of 150Lm at the top-end would be negligible compared to gaining 200m distance which is a more visible benefit.

Therefore if comparing the emitters like-for-like (ie. when de-domed) the HI would be the better choice for: Tint (no colour shift when de-domed), efficiency, output. There are some great tests and explanations in these two threads:
