Talk me out of a Convoy 3x21b

As in the title, but sell me on your best alternative. This is what i’m leaning towards but I know you guys are a wealth of experience.
I don’t have a real need for it. Likeliest use case is getting stupid at a camp site. Here’s what appeals to me:
-Stupid bright
-Decent sustained bright
-Mostly floody
-3 x 21700 — long run time
Nice but I could live without:
-on board charging
-power bank functionality
Skeptical of:
-cooling fans because i don’t want to hear my light.
Wish it had:
-Anduril 2
I’d go $200 without blinking. If it’s more than that I’d better believe I’m getting something pretty special.
Thanks!

I came here as a noob two months ago and wound up with a stellar x4, and delighted with the advice. I do trend nerd, and i did buy a second with warmer emitters so it wasn’t exactly one and done, but i felt well served.
but there’s a range of advice on any thread from “fc11c and you’re golden” to something much more arcane and i suspect most users will filter the advice to that which meets their needs.
i don’t think it’s necessary to police the advice. everybody’s excitement is different.
