Quick question about drop-in compatibility!

Hmmm? The XM-L drop-in won't make it a thrower; it's a very floody light in the P60-platform. To make a thrower, you might try a hard-driven XR-E R2 with a smooth reflector or a blacked-out reflector/aspheric combo if you can get a decent lens...

For the same price as the drop-in, he could get a Jacob A60 which ILIKEFLASHLIGHTS here really seems to like:

Or the Small Sun ZY-C10-S for a flood-to-throw zoomer that's supposed to be impressive:
