So what is the advantage of the 219 over the Cree for this light?

Summers219 has a high CRI, meaning that colors are more accurately represented in the beam. But, before you go and say "that sounds GREAT!" know that Nichia's and any high CRI light has a very yellow color to it, which a lot of people do not like, and it's at least 15% LESS bright than the pure-white Cree (in fact in this case it's even worse than that - the Nichia is almost 30% less bright.) Generally though, high CRI LED's are tolerable on small lights, but I would never ever EVER get high CRI yellow tint on a full size flashlight. Then you want white light with max lumens, but Nichia's can be quite nice on little keychain lights and such, as long as you don't mind the light color looking pretty yellow. It's too bad they can't make a white light that has a high CRI. That would be the best of both worlds.
