I am glad you posted the comparative beams, vik. It has just reinforced my enthusiasm for the IQ Fly!!
No problem...btw if you read my first link's blog post I successfully hacked a Dinotte symmetrical beam with electrical tape to set a vertical cut off. Crude, but it works. I'm eventually going to have a SON Deluxe + Edelux setup on my rando bike, but until I do I figure 1 hacked Dinotte 200L on all the time with a vertical cut off and a second unhacked Dinotte 200L as a back up and for times when I need two lights or to read a road sign.
I ordered my GF a B&M IXON IQ for X'mas [mainly because I was tired of getting strobe'd by her two Planet Bike Blaze's set on fast pulse when I looked in my rearview mirror!]. She's out of town I'm going to play with the light tonight on my way to a friend's X.mas dinner.
Merry Christmas to all!
