I got one of these in white for Christmas. Sure, It seems sturdy enough ... it's built like a tank and is as heavy as one. My Photon Red puts out more light. With cold/wet hands, the CMG may take two hands to operate. The finish on mine seems rather fragile too. I think I read that the newer ones are being anodized rather than the type of finish on mine, which is a big plus. Unless you need the ability to change batteries quickly and inexpensively, stick with a photon.

It's not the pace of life that concerns me, It's the sudden stop at the end.
