More power, longer life, smaller package, almost the same price as a quality AA, much longer shelf life.

The EOTech 553. I've spoken to the EOTech reps about it several times - most recently at the SHOT Show. It's a significant improvement. According to my POC it was developed at the behest of USASOC. All the guys using/raving about the 551/2s got a wish list together and EOTech agreed to prototype it. It's about the same size as the 551, the batteries are the same as the SureFire lights, battery life is >1000 hrs, and it has the NVG capabilities. That said it's also more expensive than the other models and I don't know if it's in general release yet. HTH - Peregrino
