The only way to tell if you have a BLU+ is to check the firmware date (L,R,R,L,R,R,L,L), however any GP32 manufactured around December 2004 to recently is usually a BLU+
You might want to throw that in the first post as an edit, as there is nothing more annoying than having to read a million messages to get the info you want.

This tends to get in the way if you have to use that button extensively with some games.

EDIT:
I'm not actually sure it's worthwhile pointing this out. We'll just be bombarded with a bunch of 'what games does it affect'-type questions.
I think keeping it as short and to the point as possible is the way to go.
Otherwise we can get into battery life/type issues, firmware upgrades etc.
Going by what folks have asked, they've been reading the pinned topics for a couple of screens and given up trying to get a summary of what to expect.
So, I reckon a summary should be all we give.
However, I'm open to opinions!
That would be meI forget who. Step forward if you want

FLUs have an issue with dust getting behind the screen. There are fixes. The front light washes out colours to some extent (this is common with front lights) but quality is still very good.
BLUs have an updated launcher that does not require registration to play non-commercial games. The launcher also boots faster. The back light makes colours very vivid, giving the blu and blu+ the best quality screen by far.
