I'm sure you will be able to find a better price than US$190, but anyway, this was the review which sold me on the Volt 1200 Cateye Volt 1200 front light review | road.cc particularly the comparison chart one is able to do against other lights.

This review was also good. Review: CatEye Volt 1200 - Mtbr.com

I doubt I would be riding it often at full 1200 lumens, but running the lower settings anywhere from 250 to 600 lumens, gives you plenty of hours of illumination on a single charge.
