Since the dyno users are probably reading this thread, has anyone here in fact tried the E3 Pro asymmetrical and the Cyo back-to-back? Remarks?

Which Supernova do you have right now? If it's a symmetrical 1st gen. E3, then there's a world of difference between that and the Cyo. The Cyo is a brighter lamp because of the focused optics (same that the Edelux uses) and it's about 90 - 95% as bright as the Edelux. I've got a 1st gen E3, an Edelux and a Cyo, so the comparison is from my having used them all on the same bike.

I don't know about the E3 Pro asymm. as I haven't yet upgraded my setup to the new LED and lens/reflector yet.
