Dazed, have you decided yet what to do? I read through your thread here and was left with a question. You had mentioned several times that you have four requirements for the light, MTG2, EDC-able, flood and use 18650 batteries. For me an EDC-able light fits in the pocket. My personal preference for an EDC-able light also needs a clip. Pocketable eliminates the 18650. Your requirements for run time are short so I suggest thinking over the use of 18350 batteries. In the dual 18350 category I think there are four key hosts to choose from, Convoy S3 and S2 , the Convoy M1 and the Sinner Tri-EDC 100mm Sinner’s host is the best option but is $15 over budget to start with. The S2 and S3 will get hot, by hot I mean with a FET driver it’s going to burn your hand before one minute is up. The S3 does not take a clip, the S2 does take a clip but is longer. Now the S2 does make a nice host for a triple XPG2 or triple XPL. A triple will use your 18650 battery preference and give a nice flood of light. The only 18650 host that appears somewhat pocketable is this variation that I can’t find in stock anywhere at the moment.
