I don't have the MagicShine to compare with, but I do have my old Dinotte 600L.

The IQ Cyo is probably roughly equal to the Dinotte on medium (MS on low?). The bigger difference is beam shape. Both the MS and the Dinotte has a round flood beam. The Cyo has a shaped beam that is cut off on the top. This focuses more of the light on the road where you need it, but almost none up on street signs or in motorists eyes.

If you need to light up street signs, use a helmet light too.
