Do any of you have the Nitecore NU50 to compare it to?

I do not. We have 4 of the same model Black Diamond Storms and then this Peax.

Outstanding light! I've used it a couple times so far on scouting trips. Archery elk hunt starts this weekend so I'll be using it a whole lot more now. It is incredibly bright. I love that it has a memory and that I can lock it to make sure it stays off. I also like that i can remove the small light bar and use it as a handheld light. Great product and I highly recommend it!

-Clicking through one color will land you on high for the other color

Is that the only way to switch colors? Because going through all the brightnesses of white to get to low-light-friendly red seems suboptimal. My Black Diamond and Petzl lamps have dedicated buttons to swap colors, and my Fenix lets you select either color from the off state.

I almost certain, yes.

Well dang. The Fenix will stick around for another season then.

It does remember what it was on last. So, if you are like me and only use red, you can stay there forever.
