There was an MD2 for sale recently with a ground down tailcap.
It may be an idea...

I very much like that tail caps on Gene's lights.
Me too. Turns on with very little effort, but recessed enough to tail stand and prevent you from accidentally turning it on.

Despite some comments to the contrary, it looks like the Z41 IS shorter overall. I don't mind the gap much so I'll probably go with the Z41. Besides, the Fivemega tailcaps are unobtanium.
There's the Oveready "custom knurled tailcap" in HA black, which I've just ordered for my HD XML, and is basically a Z41 replacement that closes the "gap" so the speak.
I don't mind the gap, but my Oveready natural HA Z41 HardPRESS, will then be moved as an identifier to an 18650 bored 6P. The HardPRESS tailcap switch is looking to become my preferred switch alternative for the Surefire Z41 design.
In post #3 mk2rocco mentioned that the OR tailcap does not match very well. Would be great if someone could make a picture.
Here's a picture of a Oveready tailcap on an old 6p. The knurling is a larger diameter of the body.

For an inexpensive fix, Nitecore make a protruding tailcap switch that will fit. I use one on a black C2. I just tried it on my Wildcat, it works fine but there is about an 1/8th inch gap. Battery Junction has them for ten bucks.
That's a valuable information, thanks Taz80!
How does the color and the finish match with the MD bodies? Do you have a picture by chance?
