Hello smithd1, welcome to BLF. You are asking a very legitimate question.
But, as thousand ( ? ) of other products show. It does not work like that.
Yes, we can say the same for almost every other object. Cars, bikes, knives, watches.
Even our companions on this planet. Horses, cows, dogs, cats, and last but no least: women.
If we were really searching for the perfect woman, and we all would have the same inner compass,
the real ultimate perfect woman would be known by now, rendering all others into vague memories.
Almost instantanious wiping out the human race. Instead it is prospering (in numbers) like never before!
If there was any common goal oriented vision at work, the perfect light would exist by now.
But there are still dozens of brands on the market, new brands emerge, old brands disappear (fade away).
And some of these brands sell a few dozen models.
Though I own 50+ lights, I still regret not having bought xxxx, and am still waiting for the yyyy to come.
And to be frankly. If it were not because of a lack of skills: I would be building (not lego-ing) my own.
