Great review. I own the Fenix L2D and find it to be a great light, with some minor limitations as you noted. Overall it's a great value, and can serve double use as an excellent flashlight. One thing I'd add is that while the flash mode is obnoxious for trying to see with at night, it's very useful during the day. You can't help but get noticed by cars that would otherwise be turning in front of you, and I'd highly recommend it for being seen when the road is already well lit.
