I agree it's annoying on really dark MUPs, but on the road, isn't a really bright light good? When I'm riding in the city, I'm not as concerned about seeing the road's surface as being seen by other drivers. I'm ok with annoying a driver if they see me and don't hit me. They're lights are way brighter than mine anyway, even with the cut-off on top. And they pretty much only sell lights for bikes that don't have the top cut-off you all are talking about, so, meh.
