fenix tk11 r2 vs r5?

[1978terrorizer]

Is the r5 upgrade much better than the r2? I'm thinking about selling my r2 to a buddy and upgrading myself to an r5. He wants a Fenix, and asked me to order one for him, so i thought id offer him mine. I just like my tk11 r2 so much, im afraid ill be disappointed.

I got the r-5 to one-up another inspector in our good natured flashlight wars. We did a very unscientific comparison after I suggested he just throw the older model away (in my wastebasket). The difference is not that great, you only notice it in turbo mode if you are aware of the 20? lumen difference.
Sorry, he had an r-4, 265 vs 285 approx.

Thanks for the reply, I just ordered 6 of them (tk11 r5) lol. A few other buddies were interested too. Ill probably keep my r2 for a glovebox light.
