Is this the new Ultrafire R2?

[bimemrboy318]

Saw this on DX. They have what appears to be the Ultrafire R1 denoted by the $37.99 price tag and tail cap clicky:

They also have what appears to be the newer R2 denoted by the side switch... however, it only goes for $23.54? Could this be it:

Yep, you've got it. Also note that the new R2 with side clicky is shown with the orangepeel reflector to get rid of the beam irregularities and the more expensive R1 with the tail clicky still has the "old" smooth reflector. Jetbeam has each light listed at $37.99.

I'm intrigued by the side clicky and it's such a natural spot to control modes, like the much larger two cell VB-16. I also have a Sam's Element with switch on the side and it's always been a great "Go-to" light.

Jetbeam has announced they are switching the R1 to the orangepeel to solve the beam problems but it's clear in the pix on DX that it still has the smooth one, at least in those pics.
