The main thing I like about the PR1200 is that low beam that reduces glare. The aluminum waterproof body is nice as well...I am not sure the NR is waterproof or water resistant. I like the Ravemen for the road/paths. There may be another one that is road-centric but I forget if it was Exposure or which brand. Regardless, it was way more expensive. I'm off to charge up my lights. This thread has me looking forward to evening/night rides. We actually have a long-standing MTB group that does that on Thursday nights.
