Non budget AA flashlight: Fenix LD20. Worth it?

I own a L2D older version of ld20. Couple of my colleagues have it 2 all for few years now. Some lost the light because of misplacing it n none thru failure.I m one of them n all of us replace it with a second piece. Lucky few who didnt misplace has been using it regularly til now.I like the quality n reliability.its worth the $. Believe the newer version should match this, if not, better. Will b getting a fenix tk35 for Christmas
