Can't say it's any better since I haven't tried it.
But the difference is the LED. The old one used a Luxeon (I?) LED while this one... Don't know what LED it is. Looks like some 100 mA ones a local electronic parts dealer once had. Perhaps it's easier to get a better focus with that LED since it needs a shallower reflector. Or most likely it's just cheaper.
Don't think there's much difference in out put level though.
Unless you for some special reason or another want to upgrade an old Mag I believe you're better of buying another light. At least don't buy it and expect it to compete with even 1 AA lights whether it being Fenix, Quark or selected DX/KD lights.

That is indeed the problem - although individually the bits to upgrade an old mag don't look too pricey, the results don't really justify the cost.
When you add it up, I've spent more on upgrading a pair of MiniMag AAs than the cost of a brand new EagleTac P10A.
No prizes for guessing which is the better light.

I got some of these to convert the last of the Mini Mags I have lying around.
It is a nice beam and does seem to be around 30 lumens on Eneloops.
The only gripe I have is that the threading of the head is on the last turn when its in focus for a tight spot.
A half turn more and the head comes off the body.
But its great and will serve as a regular use item in my house. Kids and loaner lights.
