In my opinion, the plain old 995 is much lacking in beauty, though for years now they've had a rep for being fun and dependable. (Note, the red dot scope on the 995 is not included, and it is considerably uglier without it...)
The 995TS cost me $250 plus tax and BGC, compared to $200 for a standard 995. Why cheap out on $50 when it makes such a difference? Other than looks, the TS offers several important tactical advantages over it's predecessor. First, there are three picatinny rails for accessories, one below the barrel, one at the handgaurd, and one above the reciever. You can see I've allready made use of the lower rail.
The flashlight is a simple 9-bulb led that I picked up for $2.50 at a local store. I tried one before (from a dollar store, I'm sad to admit,) but it fell apart after about 2 magazines. This one has performed like a champ so far, and is actually very bright. The rings are weaver picatinny scope rings from Wal Mart (about $8) and the flashlight fit them like it was meant to be. Not bad for about $10. Still deciding what I'm going to do with the other rails...
Here are a few shots from different angles.
