I hear that the MagicShine is very similar to the twenty buck CREE lights on Amazon-----not having ever seen a MagicShine in the flesh I can't say so from personal experience.
The CREE light
is a tight spot. I got one of the $6 wide angle lens and like it a lot better. It's alright for all of my out-in-the-sticks riding with the exception of the lower parts of the few 30+ mph hills. I've never been in town at night with it. As cheap as they are, I might get another and leave the factory lens in it. I think that would work great for a $50 light investment.
