Thanks, folks, I'm leaning toward the IQ after finding some light pattern photos on B&M's website.

How's the beam pattern and illumination evenness from a handlebar mount? I don't have fenders yet so I'm not sure about the fork crown mount, although it makes sense.

I've noticed with the Vivo-Bike Illuminati the beam pattern and illumination evenness vary depending on whether it's mounted. I prefer it on my helmet, since my handlebar bag blocks the low mounted light. It's just bright enough to get home at night, and very directional so I can avoid blinding drivers unless I look directly at them. That's what persuaded me toward the B&M lights.
