I think that beyond a certain point, you don't gain anything. Some people would not notice you if you were riding with enough lighting to catch bushes on fire.
IMO, the MagicShine 880 will be a super winner.. Well, the nutcases that don't notice are in the minority. The main thing is that we are being seen and respect, and most of this comes from having ample lights..
