Went with the 1 watt cherry bomb, I think the built in reflectors will help more than the side lights of the Niterider, and since it already had enough for super saver shipping I didn't need to pad my order with useless things, also it seemed below what it normally went for elsewear.

For front lights I just prefer to use regular flashlights, but I think it would be too much of a hassle to adjust a flashlight to tailight usage, as they tend to be beam oriented; to see, not to be seen.
