I agree with you, the std MS900 reflector leaves a lot to be desired beam-wise. To me it seems that there's a lot of light wasted at the very periphery of the beam, then a dark region between it and the center hot-spot. I'd prefer a more uniform illuminated area, with a narrower beam angle.
I was a little disappointed when I bought my second MS900 unit recently - it had the same reflector as the first. No one apparently thought to try and improve on this aspect of the headlight.
These don't seem like an improvement to me. The beam on the MS is already too wide for my tastes (I'd estimate it at around 30 degrees) and diffusers just spread the beam around more. In situations where the road is wet, the current beam all but disappears. I'd like to see a narrower beam...more like 12 degrees...especially for helmet mounted applications.
I really miss my narrow beam halogens. Don't miss the weight, just the light.
