I just received the Fenix E20 from 4sevens.com.
Shipping is the usual fast 3 days to Socal.
Price is excellent $34.96.
Uses common 2AA batteries. Nimh, Alkalines and Eneloops. The run time on my light was 3.24 hours with Duracell Nimh batteries. I got a very flat rate of dicharge but after 3.24 hours the battery dropped off rapidly. 4sevens.com lists 78 minutes with Duracell Alkalines. 160 minutes with Eneloops.
The Fenix E20 uses a Cree XRE Q2. The tint on my light is on the warm side. The beam is slightly off-centered.
The E20 uses a SMO reflector. My light has a very slight Cree Ring.
Uses and adjustable head which goes from a tight focus to a wide focus. The threads are very smooth and tight. My o-rings came lubed. The lens bezel assembly can be removed.
The finish is Type III Hard Anodize Black. There is no color mis-match and no flaws. The knurling is excellent, it gives a very nice grip. I give the grade A+.
The fit is excellent. Threads are smooth. O-rings came lubed. I give the grade A+.
Uses a forward clickie. Can be locked out by turning the rear switch cover counter-clockwise just a little. The rear rubber cover protrudes 2.20mm. No tail standing.
Comes with a Cree module cover, 2 o-rings, rear rubber boot cover and lanyard.
Uses a SMO reflector and a Cree XRE Q2.
Lens bezel assembly can be removed.

A great light for the price! I think it will make an affodable gift for someone.
I wish the Fenix E20 would come out with a "Premium Version". Use a Creee Q5. It would throw further and be brighter. Come with a holster. I would pay extra for one.
Uses common AA batteries.
I was very surprised with the run time using Duracell 2650 Rechargeable Nimh AA's, 3.24 hours. A very flat discharge rate.
The fit and finish is very top rated IMO for it's price.
I can't wait for the Olive color version. It will soon be added to my colletion.
