I absolutely love my Tikka XP although I wish it had an "overhead" strap instead of just one around the head as it does slip down my forehead so I have to tighten it up when not wearing my Buff.

Unlike your Tikka Plus 2 mine does not have a red filter that does have its benefits especially when reading Garmins and maps.

Tikka XP has a boost button and the diffuser filter is particularly good as its fits the field of vision almost perfectly ( if not somewhat unnervingly)

As an aside I have quickly learnt that during cold weather the condensation from my breath can float into the beam of the light and temporarily obscure my forward view which is quite dangerous on rough or woodland terrain so to counteract the problem I wear my Buff around my neck and then pull it up over my mouth to capture the moisture.

I reckon we have swings and roundabout issue here, you have an excellent lightweight torch with red light capability (excellent for night navigation) where I have a slightly more powerful light with a slightly more reach. If we put it into perspective we really only need 15-20 feet of light in front of us when night running so we can check trip hazards and your light does more than enough with 35 metres on high and 13 metres on low.....I'd spend the money you have saved on a Buff
