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.
That's why the Bullite is so great. You don't need a second headlight, all you need is a rear blinky. So, that's only 2 little devices, completly self contained that I have to keep with me. The bullite slides off the bike real easy but is completely secure. It will never get dammaged banging around in my bag, mine has even skipped across the pavement for 20 feet without being hurt.
I keep my two lights in my bag all the time, they don't get in the way, and I am always prepared when I get stuck out in the dark. If the one hour runtime is sufficient for your needs, I think this is pretty much the ultimate system for school commuters, or anyone who has to keep all their gear with them thoughout the day.
