on a recent brevet two riders with E6's looked a lot like a car to me!
and as for brightness, we had multiple cars flash their brights at us (three of us with E6 lights), but then again maybe someone had theirs aimed too high. all i know is that the beam of light it sheds can light up a sign from at least 1/4 mile away!
i use the shimano dynohub, and like it. although at 40+ km/h you can feel a slight "buzz" as if going over chip-seal. does the schmidt dyno do that too?
even with the added drag, i've done a full 300k with it on (it was a rainy day), and didn't notice it too much.
