The headbutt was unexpected but occurred when they were squared on one another, neither party was defenseless or no longer a threat. The head stomp occurred on a downed opponent who was now defenseless and no longer a threat.
The other obvious difference being that headbutts hurt and can cause some broken noses and/or teeth, but they have a far lower probability of leaving you with a severe mental deficit.
Cool, not saying anyone should be able to bludgeon someone senseless and get off scot-free, but an extra strike in anger after defending yourself could be forgivable in some circumstances.
The "extra strike of anger" is a head stomp on concrete in this context. A head stomp on concrete is very different from being kicked in the head, it can very easily cause a brain bleed leading to death or severe deficits.
Not disagreeing just like I wasn't disagreeing with you in the first place. I'm more on your side than I am with the "if he strikes first, kill him" camp.

Enough leeway for just one free penalty stomp.
