SoxFanI purchased one off eBay thinking exactly what your thinking and I was WRONG. It's not a good pocket flashlight and I don't know what they were thinking when they designed it. Turbo mode is only accessible while constantly holding the menu button, buttons are plastic that are very sensitive and easily triggered while in your pocket unless you lockout the light every time you put it in your pocke. I didn't like the lighting Levels either, goes from 200 lumens to 1000(plus a low and medium). I really feel for a light that bright there ought to be something in between. I do however highly recommend the Nitecore TIP. I've had one for 2 years and its AWESOME. Slightly larger than the TINI but has double the battery life.
