I was cruising through the Fenix website this morning and I noticed that the TK40 now has a new body style:

Note that the TK40 now uses what appears to be the same black plastic battery carrier that the new TK45 uses. I don't know if that's good or bad as I haven't seen that battery carrier in person yet. (My TK45 is due to arrive at my door sometime today.) One of the things that I liked about my TK40 though was the sturdy battery carrier and now Fenix got rid of it. Truth be told though, the original battery carrier did have its share of problems with the nuts coming loose on several CPF members' lights.
I don't know about the new exterior of the body tube though. In all the TK40 reviews and comments that I've read from fellow TK40 owners, not once can I remember anyone complaining about the shape of the body tube's exterior. It certainly never bothered me.
What do you guys think about the changes? Good or bad?
