Bikes: 2007 Dahon Cadenza w/ Alfine IGH11, modified MEC Desire w/Alfine IGH8,+ 2 ebikes: Bionx PL350 & 36V eZee FHB/Tidalforce frames.

Regarding the Shimano IGH discussion I just thought I'd throw in my two cents. One of the bikes I've been commuting on the last couple years has a Shimano Nexus SG 8R31 (with the cesur.de disc brake adapter) and aside from a faulty cassette joint it has been comparable to my Alfine I8 (equipped bike) on every level.
So, +1 for fans of Shimano IGH.

That being said this seems like a no brainer for a quality dynamo hub/light combo:

$347.00 all together? Not bad.
