money isnt really an issue, I prefer to spend the money upfront for decent stuff rather than replace later.

I have no experience with the LED lights. However, I'd put my Surefire 6P (xenon bulb) against any Maglite (2C, 4D, it matters not) and the 6P will beat it for distance unquestionably.
I have a surefire E2D. The main reason I like the surefires is the clip they have. At night I generally wear a cap and I can clip my flashlight to the brim of my hat for a makeshift headlamp - extremely useful on traumas and multi-patient scenarios (or having to start a line in a poorly lit back room somewhere). The downside is that it isn't rechargeable, however I don't use it all that often so I don't go through many batteries. Other nice thing about the E2D is it can be used for self defense. I used it once for that purpose and it really got the job done.

The only experience I have with an LED light is a small penlight. I do not like the bluish color of the light. Specifically, I do not like the bluish tint that lit objects take under this light. I prefer accurate color rendering, and I feel that the xenon bulb of my 6P produces much truer lit colors. Obviously, though, I cannot shine a 6P into a patient's eyes unless I plan on adding blindness to their complaints....I personally like the LED better....The LED is brighter for close applications and the batteries last about 5 times as long.

Is the bluish tint of my LED penlight common to all "white" LED lights, or do I just have a cheap penlight?
