I heard that before about the Gen3 and other so called super bright LED's. I've even seen the Cateye's brightest LED (before the triple shot was intro'd) on the road and it was brighter then other self contained lights but otherwise just a weak light with a small bluish spot light and no scatter light. I only mentioned the Gen3 because it's propably the brightest self contained battery unit available next to the Cateye Triple Shot that cost over $300!

I agree about LED's not being bright enough. Find a good halogen and go with it.
