The distance tonight is close to 68 meters. The pictures are slightly brighter than what they were in real life. On the meter the XML 3C is the loudest with the modified HD-2010 a little way behind. The recent rebuild on the HD-2010 has transformed a very bright light into an outstanding performer. I'll have to wait until I'm out and about before I form a final opinion on the 3C MTG.
If anyone would like mouse overs feel free to ask.
