Take a look:
StVZO bike lights - what it is really about ? - Light-Test.info

If you need more information, just ask.

By the way, lamps with real cutoff-beam are available already below $40.

Actually you must not own one, I own a couple of their lights. And in comparison to automotive they are actually very similar.

They arent the hard cut off of more expensive lights but there is nothing "marketing" about it. The cut off still allows for a small amount of spill to spread above. Just as automotive lights do.
