I could use some advice in cutting through the massive amount of information out there.

I'm seeking to replace the headlight I have on my bike. Right now it's an 4 year old Nite-Hawk Phoenix. I'd link to it, but the companies website appears to be gone now...which can't be a good sign. Anyhow, it's served me well, but the light appears to be dimming and that's troublesome for my morning commute.

I would like to get something that is:
-In the $150 range (I could go slightly higher if it's a significant improvement)
-No external battery pack would be nice
-Needs to have a good, bright flood light effect, not just a spot light (I ride in some areas where there are no streetlights for miles, so the more I Can see, the better)
-Handlebar mount essential
-USB Recharge would be handy, but it's not a deal breaker.

I've seen people point out the NiteRider MiNewts and the CygoLite Expilion. Would those be the best all things considered, or is there something I'm missing out there in the piles of information?

Thanks...appreciate any help people can give
