Is the updated Nitecore EDC27 UHi worth the upgrade? Which one should you buy?

Nitecore recently released the EDC27UHi with a few "upgraded" features. BUT, should you upgrade if you already own the original EDC27?
I'll break down all the differences between the 2 and demonstrate the beam profiles side by side. Hopefully this helps you decide which one to buy.

I think the edc 29 seems interesting

[@ChrispyThings]

Definitely

[@ThatCrazyRCGuy67]

Was gonna say WAIT FOR THE EDC 29

[@TRDGE]

Mmm interesting form factor

[@jetpipe28]

the pocket clip is extreme fail.

[@IWH8023]

Bought one, got water damage. Real crap from Nitecore. Got a sofirn sc instead.

[@ChrispyThings]

Yeah the IP rating isn’t good. It’s my biggest complaint other than the built in battery

[@30maack]

Great review, as always!! Gonna more than likely snag the UHI vs spend $20 more for the EDC29 and its lume shield technology
