Did Petzl redesign the TacTIKKA PLUS headlamp on/off switch?

The picture on amazon.com has the old style on/off switch:

Here is a url to a picture of the latest model with a different on/off switch:

When was the on/off switch redesigned?
Is the new on/off switch better?

The Tactikka appears to have the original on/off slider and 3 leds just like the original tikka and zipka. The Tactikka "PLUS" has 4 leds and should have the exact same switch as the Tikka plus and zipka plus. Multifunction click.

You can compare the numbers between the Tikka and Tikka+ on my site for a good idea of the brightness differences. (since the TacTikka is the same light but with a plastic red filter in front of the LEDs....)
