First: the brighter light issue.
The lights are exactly the same. He pointed out on the one that has the smooth, less light bright LEDs and the "brighter" one and it's not the light. It's the matting around the light.
I'm amazed I didn't notice this. For anyone that has a "good" one and a bright one, compare the matting material around the LEDs and you will see that they are two different materials. The lights are exactly the same.
As for the wiggle room, at least with the bats I brought him, he said that while they are definitely different they should work. People that don't do their preflight check which, by the way, includes making sure you have a good connection of the bat should definitely be doing this.
He said, as I did, that if one pin disconnects, the bird will just drop, however, he is less concerned about that.
I asked him would he bet his life vs $200,000 that it wouldn't fall out and he said for sure.
HOWEVER, he said that his larger concern (although not a strong concern) is that the battery would fall out, not that it would disconnect from a pin.
He said some other things that I can't remember but in general, he thinks it's a QC issue and he wasn't thrilled about it but he thinks it's safe to fly but not AS safe as the non wigglers.
