My Manker U21 arrived yesterday and I will be using this light along with my Fenix PD40 for my compact single cell flashlights. My everyday pocket light is a ZebraLight SC600 Mklll. I do have a Convoy L6 on order for longer range use. I do appreciate a concern about cost, but as a retired mechanic living on a moderate Union Pension the lights I have listed easily fit in my budget when adjusted for what I choose not to purchase. The tools and things I use in my daily life must pass a threshold where cost is not the number one consideration.
Just fyi, the U21 will out throw the L6 in distance. The L6 will put out more total light of course, and a wider hot spot - both are great quality lights though - can't go wrong with having both.
I measured 78 kcd (559 meters) on the L6 (https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/36959/1586 ), 127 kcd (712 meters) on the U21 (https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/40242 ).
