I wrote him back and asked the difference in the two. Here is his reply. Btw, I sent him Michael's article in order to explain what/why we were doing.
The light that Michael Yon recommends in the article is actually called the TacTikka Plus. Here is the link to it on our website: http://www.petzl.com/petzl/LampesProduits?MotRecherche=Quick+Search&Langue=en&Gamme=48&Critere=&News=
TacTikka Plus has:
4 LEDs
easy to operate push button sealed switch (important for keeping sand out and easy to operate with gloves on)
tilt
3 brightness settings
TacTikka lamps are:
3 LEDs

Let me know if you have any other questions,

I asked about shipping......here is his response to that, but I wrote back and asked him to look into it.
Where are you shipping them? If within the US I will pay for the shipping costs. To Iraq….now that is a different story but I can look into it if that will help.
