How 'bout variable (infinitely variable output, I suppose some call them) lights? Still, don't know any in XM-L.

Reminds me of something Match wrote me about a month ago in his thread Describe for me your dream torch:

...a well designed variable switch using a qtc might be right up your ally.

Which begs the question, which twisty single-mode XM-L light is best suited for a qtc pill mod? (I know I said I didn't want to do any modding, but it's looking like my best budget option.) I realize BLFers are still experimenting with qtc, but has anyone successfully qtc-modded a sweet XM-L flashlight?

This may not be an exact answer to your questions, but I did a little more playing around with my triple xm-l mag mod. Specifically, I cut it down to a 1D, installed internal guide rods for 4x14500 lifePO4's (does away with that annoying battery holder), and then got the QTC part of it working beautifully. 0-3,000L that'll fit in my pocket :) Here's a shot of it next to one of my mini-match's. (Note: I redid the knurling, but the equipment I had available to do this on was terrible....so it didn't turn out as even as I had hoped).
