I am running a G2 w/ p60 lamp and shock bezel in a VTAC mount, and a TD stubby. I get 60 lumens and an hour runtime. When I get my stamp back this G2 will go on my 10.5LMT and get a P60L lamp, led with 80 lumens and 12 hours runtime. This will be an CBQ setup, and I find 80 lumens to be quite enough in close spaces, especially if there are white walls, etc. On my 16"middy will go another G2 and VTAC mount or the new VLTOR that looks similar but is aluminum instead of polymer. It will have a P90 lamp and 9v adapter for better throw and 105 lumens for 1 hour. A more general purpose role.
I like the stubby TD grip. I made my own by cutting down, shaping, and gluing the cap in place of the full size I had. I'll pick another up for the new upper too. I found I never used the battery storage in it anyway, and after taking Pat's Carbine class, I adopted a higher VFG hold with thumb and index finger along the rail, leaving the bottom of the grip unused. Plus I'm always looking to shave some weight, and while it wa only maybe an ounce, it is out there at the muzzle, and it does add up.
I think you are making a good choice!
