There's nothing like the real thing baby, there's nothing like the real thing....

I orderd one from fastech anyway to compare it to the real one...it amazed me to see how china is cloning every damm mod and atty that comes out..so I will post my update here with side by side pics..
I wish I could find one, much less be able to afford one, but way to rich for my blood! They are so pretty, and expensive, I'd be half afraid to use it in the house even!
Here's my logic on this, as sad as it may be! I picked up a used Legacy in the classifieds, love it! But I was thinking about getting the 18350 tube, that's $25, then grab a couple extra springs, figure $2 ea, then I've got to buy the screw kit so I can adjust it for the batteries I want to use. Not sure if you know how the Legacy is built, but the spring isn't held in place buy anything, and you have to shim the contact screw with washers to adjust it to work with different batteries. As it's used, I didn't get the shims. No biggie, BUT by the time I buy all of this, I've spent more on spares than I would on this one mod, that does all of that, the springs don't get lost, it's easy to swap battery sizes, adjust the internal pins for battery connection and atty connection, no shims to lose etc. I'm not badmouthing the Legacy mind you, just saying for me, this is a better choice! Then I can take this fishing, out and about, and depending on what I have on top of it, I'm out $40-60 if I lose it! Plus it looks just flat beautiful to boot!
I was leery of it at first, seems most of these clones need some fiddling to make them work, but after watching the videos tonight, I have to say I'm pretty well sold on this thing!
