I got a Surefire E1 for my dad this christmas (he needed the light to be small because he fixes computers), and he seems to have been really happy with it, so of course that got me to thinking. I'm considering getting myself a Surefire, probably an E2 (lexan lense), or E2e (pyrex lense). These are some seriously expensive pieces of equipment for me (my most expensive knife is a Spydie Police Model, and that was a gift!), so something occured to me. How easy is it to scratch the lenses on these (pyrex or lexan), because it seems that if you mess up the lenses on one of these, you are sh!t out of luck. The way these flashlights carry (bezel up, poking out of the pocket just begging to have their lenses scratched), concerns me. I know my dad carries his just floating around in his pocket with keys and change, so thats good news... and thats with just the lexan lense. So I ask, has anyone ever had any problem with lense scratching on a surefire, or are they pretty much impervious? 80-90 bucks for the light and acessories is a real big investment for me, so this light (leaning towards E2e), would be pretty much irreplaceable. So much gear, not enough money!
