With Sport version, this has been the vertically too narrow beam. To get some illumination of the area immediately in front, I would have to point the beam excessively down.

Along the line of Selectra, I have had the Toplight XS and DToplight on some bikes, both with protruding covers. The problem was those covers getting scratched right on the line of light (particularly XS), when the bikes were being worked on or otherwise. With DToplight I remember the problem of fogging, with the fog hanging on for a couple of days after rain and making the light really dim. As I understand, this is also a problem with Selectra. The newer B&M taillights are watertight, which I find a better compromise - while I cannot tinker with them easily, they are safer this way.
