Surefire v. Streamlight

Does anyone have experience with these lights? How do they compare in terms of brightness, beam focus, durability, etc?

I have the Surefire 6P + 3P and did have the Streamlight Scorpion . I love the 6P and use it constantly , the 3P I believe is a little weak but is a handy size for pocket carry . The 3P puts out a fair amount of light but does not come close to the 6P . The Scorpion is not a bad light but the quality is not equal to Surefire . If you do not need a "blinding" light the 3P will probably do . Good Luck , Mike...

I have the Scorpion, Surefire 3P and 6Z. The 6Z is superior to the Scorpion, IMHO due to it's ergonomics and the ability to use the rubber attachment for Rogers technique.
