Deal Details
Among enthusiasts, the TAC AA is known as a "pocket rocket". I own several and have never seen them priced this low. (I've purchased from Acebeam's AliExpress store several times and have never had an issue. Shipping usually takes less than a week.)
Only the black version and blue version are available in the US. (Not the red or orange versions.) Note: The versions have different LEDs, and different beam profiles.
Full list of features:

For the 2-AA version, this comment says
"The stephenknightphotography review of this found that this model has issues with thermal step down, making this light potentially dangerous. "
What about this one?
I own several TAC AA and TAC 2AA lights. I don't use them on turbo for more than a few minutes. They do get hot by then, but (IMO) not any hotter than the average modern light.
1Lumen and ZeroAir do in-depth flashlight reviews and lab testing. I scanned their reviews for the TAC AA but can't find any mentions of thermal stepdown issues:

How would this Acebeam compare?

The S2+ has an 18650 battery, so it's larger and heavier than the TAC AA (14500), but likely has a longer run time. As for the beam, it's hard to compare without knowing which emitter is in the S2+.
