Best EDC flashlight?

I am currently using a Peak Eiger with the QTC and High CRI as my EDC flashlight. I just throw in a disposable AAA currently and know that due to this, rather than a Li-Ion, I am getting less than peak lumens. However it lasts quite a while for my work needs and has taken some abuse with no signs of wear. It has the twist lens that allows for "infinitely" variable lumens. 

The thing is now I want a second flashlight. One to carry with me outside of work. I need this one to have an on/off button on the tail. I would like it to have a strobe, but just having full power available with a click is the most important (half click temporary on, full click constant on). It needs to be small enough to fit in my pocket, but bright enough to disorientate any potential attackers at night. Extra useful features would be a clip and usable tailstand, but definitely not necessary. 

I'm leaning toward a Fenix flashlight this time around, but am definitely open to suggestions. I am looking to spend up to $200.
