If anything, be comparing them against similar lights - the VTAC L4 light is functionally the same tailcap/illum module, but off the E1 and E2 body instead of the Scout M300/X600 body.
The KX# heads are among the best weaponlight heads because of the simplicity and weight - the Z38 tailcap is the one I want on a weaponlight unless I'm using an X300 - I literally have no others I use anymore.
The integral mount is nice, and necessary for the NSN iteration - if you're running offset I think that advantage disappears. The pressure pad is good, but I also think the SR07 is even better - but I've taken to running the things with the stock tailcap at 12:00, and can't be happier.
They cost more because they're an immediately good lighting solution for carbines, with the flexibility of changing the tailcap to a pressure activated one (included or SR07); the mount to an aftermarket offset or QD; or the illum module upgraded to a dual-purpose V model. The VTAC L4 has a lot of that already going for it if you are partial to aftermarket mounts anyway.
