Once I got the dynohub, I didn't have to make battery care part of my routine. Grab the bike and go. It helps make the bike into an everyday tool, not just something for special trips.
+1 on the dyno hub. I have a SON I have been using for 3+ years now. Never an issue and I never think about lights/batteries etc. The light is there at the flick of a switch. It is one less thing to think about and one less excuse you can use to keep from riding.
