Look at the new Ravemen PR 1200. Maybe Planet Cyclery has them the cheapest but it has a road-focused beam as well...maybe in the 600 setting. It's cheap too ($100 or under) and one of the rare ones with a road-focused beam option. I have several German Lupines that cost me alarm and a leg but they are mainly for mountain biking and too bright for the road (too bright for oncoming traffic and cyclist) so I use an Exposure Diablo and am careful with how it points, even though it is only 1000ish lumens. I'm tempted to get the PR1200 for the winter, though most of my night rides are mountain biking so it may not be very useful in my case unless I do more road biking. Even then, I have 30-40 miles of multi-use bike paths around me and hardly anyone is on them after dark.
