I have the Massdrop AAA and the Maratac AAA TPF, both brass, and I use the MD light pretty much every day. I only use the Maratac every now and then. It has a very even wide-angle light, without as much distance. It's more like a tiny lamp. It's great for lighting up a small room or a work area. Overall I find the MD more versatile. Also, the Maratac twisty switch isn't as convenient as the electronic button on the MD. I can reach into my pocket and pull it out while turning it on in half a second.
So the answer is, of course, get them both. ��
I took some pictures to demonstrate:

awkThis is a good way to think about it - it's a work lamp, not a flashlight.
I was in love with the idea of a right angle flashlight that I could just clip onto a backpack or what have you but between the short throw of the Maratec and the impracticality of actually pointing it where I want (unless where I want it is a fixed position) it wasn't what I was expecting.
I lost it at a beach bonfire and frankly don't miss it.
