I wouldn't think the LD01 is much brighter. Also its a twisty, and the lower modes have some pretty low PWM. Size, the LD01 should be shorter, but not by much.
If your tank 007 is working fine, and puts out a good beam, I would stick with it. The LD01 wouldn't be too much better.
Consider a D10/EX10 (Nightcore) for a small flashlight. I read that the new ones have a better UI and more efficient leds.

You may use the LD01 with li-ion and it will be like 3 times brighter than your Tank007. The most important thing here is not brightness but reliability and quality, this is something you will realize with the past of time. I highly recommend saving up money and buy higher quality lights, you get what you pay for.
You may also consider the LiteFlux 2... I don't have it, so can't give you a comparison.
I have the Fenix LD01 and I like the light for its size, output, and runtime. However, there's not a big enough difference between the 3 modes of brightness. Sorta wish for economy mode, and the 80 lumen mode. I use rechargeable batteries, so runtime is not a big deal to me. I also decided I don't like twisties because I don't like using two hands to operate the light, although I like the size of the twisty better than a clickie. Now that I'm seeing piston (Nitecore) and something like the LiteFlux 3..., those will be my next lights. I hope to see a piston or LiteFlux LF3XT type AAA light.
Since you already have a AAA light, you may want to consider a CR123 or AA light just to have more options.
