For better, I can definitely recommend the Convoy M1. With the red Biscott driveri installed, it’s waaaay more versatile than the TN12, goes for much cheaper than any 18650 Thrunite, you can pick what emitter you want including a flat-dome XP-L HI or a high CRI Nichia. And speaking from personal experience, the TN12’s holster feels like it was made for the M1. As a bonus, the M1 is also more solid than the TN12, both in feel and in actual durability.

It’s not brighter, but it doesn’t have to me :wink:

Source: having a TN12 in 1A cool white that I got sick of (that nonexistent High-Turbo gap in particular) and then getting an M1 in 7A warm tint that I can’t get enough of.
