I have yet to really go out and run it but my initial impressions are good. The beam pattern is tight and bright. This thing has some serious throw to it. Haven't done any actual testing per se, but the data out there now seems really accurate just comparing it to my SFs.
I couldn't help myself either. Had to pick up one of their CORv1 rails to go with it for a pistol build I'm working on. I have a SF DF and a Mod Lite OKW, I've have not yet compared them but I can tell it'll definitely holds it own.

This thing is BIG. Much bigger than I expected when comparing to the scout lights. It takes up so serious rail space, depending on how you mount your sling, it could be in the way but that would be a funky set up, plus you can easily set it up for either side.
I really like the intelligent momentary and constant on options built into the switch.
I agree, the thing is a flippin' pig compared to my SF DF let alone my diminutive Modlite OKW with a 18350 body, but I still like it. I like the reversible design and the inclusive tool on the end cap for tightening and removal.
Here's an older thread on the OWL...
