Keep my Maglite or switch?

[heavyfoldersarebest]

Hey guys, I am losing sleep over this. Should I keep my Maglite with a Malkoff XML drop-in or sell it and get a Fenix TK60?

What I like about the Maglite is, it looks completely stock and if someone were to break into my car, less likely to steal it because, well at least to me it looks freaking cheap but of course it's not.

What I like about the Fenix TK60 is select-able outputs, aluminum reflector, glass lens, fully regulated output (Maglite goes into direct drive after it drops below 50%) and type 3 anodizing. Real question is, is this as indestructible as the Maglite and Malkoff LED?

It MUST be a 4 D cell light as it is going to live in my trunk, the Maglite already does. So if it were up to you guys, what would you decide?

Just a little input to maybe ease your mind either way, if I broke into your car and flashlights were something i liked and it says "Maglite" on it, I'm taking it regardless of cost.

I've got a TK40 and they are regarded as very tough. I've seen test (abuse) threads that the Fenix simply shrugs off without problem.

If you've got the money to spend and really need to rely on your flashlight to be nearly bulletproof, go for the Fenix.

I have a Fenix TK15 and TK45, they are both ultra reliable, ultra bright and tough as nails. I recommend them without hesitation.
