I've got the Mini Scout and Scout, and the Viking light. First of all 200 lumens in not too much indoors, not even close. I very much prefer the Mini Scout to the full size model. What I realized in shooting both at 50 yards and 100 was that the beam on the mini is more focused, with a tighter beam. With the lumen output it's important to realize that the hot spot can be different than total output. The 200 lumen, full size model is brighter but some of that is alleviated by the beam size. For me the lighter, smaller package is preferred. You might also note that in smokey or dusty conditions the incandesent bulbs cut through the clutter mush better than LED's. I bought the Viking light with the intention of mounting it on a rifle but liked it so much I use it as me console light in my patrol unit. They are the shizznit.
