This flashlight on Sport.woot! is NOT the 6PX Pro - this is just another inaccurate post by Leothelion. This flashlight offered for $40 is the now-discontinued model 6PX. In fact, the flashlight pictured on the Sport.woot! webpage is inaccurate as well. Pictured is the 6PX Tactical, but that is a current SureFire product with an MSRP of $95 and a maximum lumens of 600. The previous 6PX model had a single brightness setting of 320 lumens and that is stated on the Sport.woot! product listing (under "Features"). According to SureFire's website, the current models 6PX Pro and the 6PX Tactical have two brightness settings, 15 lumens and 600 lumens. This price for the discontinued 6PX is a fair price since the MSRP for the newer model 6PX Pro and the 6PX Tactical is $95.
The only drawback to these quality SureFire (and Streamlight) flashlights is that they will not accept the more powerful (and rechargeable) 18650 batteries. However, SureFire LED flashlight products will accept rechargeable CR123A batteries . Since any non-rechargeable battery is a long-term waste of money, SureFire offers a branded set of rechargeable CR123A batteries with a dedicated battery charger for an MSRP of $32: https://www.surefire.com/catalog/product/view/id/601/s/sf2r-charger-kit/category/149
If you prefer the non-rechargeable lithium CR123A batteries and use a flashlight regularly, you could always purchase 'em in bulk: https://www.opticsplanet.com/surefire-bulk-pack-123a-lithium-batteries.html A Google search of the SureFire CR123A rechargeable battery kit shows that it's difficult to find for MSRP or less so it appears that ordering it directly from SureFire is best.
Overall, $40 for a single brightness (320 lumens) LED SureFire flashlight is a good deal...just understand what you're getting (or not getting, as the case may be). With another $60-70 spent on rechargeable batteries and a polymer belt holster, you'll have a great, durable, high quality setup.

Finally, this flashlight does not come with a pocket clip; polymer holster is offered with an MSRP of $30 and the street price appears to be 10-20% less than that: https://www.surefire.com/catalog/product/view/id/300/s/v70-speed-holster/category/149/
