L1D is like $52 on lighthound, it does have the rear clickie, and then the L2D body is another $12, and the red light filter is $4. That is what I gave my brother for a shopping list when he asked what I wanted for Christmas! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

The only difference between the L1D and L2D is the body tube. And I'm w/ you 100% about the compromise between performance and battery type.
