Coast 600R vs MagLite Mini Pro

The Coast 600R makes for a good, if unremarkable Standard Flashlight for people with a $30 budget. The MagLite Mini Pro, however, is merely mediocre when compared to other options at its price point and won't satisfy the needs of most people.

In both cases, however, you might want to look into some alternatives at the $30 price range - chances are that there are better options available.
