Vintage Headlights

My Raleigh Sports came with a Sturmey Archer front Dynohub and the original front and rear head lights. I purchased a vintage looking Bobbin Classic Deluxe for my wife and it also has a Dynohub with a headlight. We actually like to ride at night, but as headlights, these suck! I'm used to using Cygolites on my bikes for my night riding and would like to upgrade. I'd like to keep the vintage look and came up with two options. Both are LED lights - one is battery powered and the other via the dynohub.

Can anyone comment on how much brighter these two lights would be versus the original stock filament bulb? Is it worth it or do I install a Cygolite for night riding and keep the originals for looks only?

Option 1 - Battery powered LED Light

Option 2 - Dyno Powered LED Busch & Muller HL Classic

Thanks
