It's nice to visualize the trade-offs in beam pattern. I really wish they had a beam shot for the MagicShine. I found it on last year's MTBR shootout, and it looks like it has a pretty tightly focused beam, but I'd like to be able to see it with the cut-over.

The differences in beams also makes me wonder how the lumens were measured.
