And are you really not using a dynamo yet? Get on it, man!
It still might be worth seeing what makes it tick.
I suppose those bottle generators really turned, me off from the whole generator concept...
Recently I've been commuting on 3 or 4 different bikes, so lights I can move around work well for me. But, I'll probably choose one bike as a primary commuter, and then work around that one, with battery lights for the other bikes.
I'm not quite sure how to attach the dynamo to my toe lights.
The other thing is that I'm thinking about my next rough country touring build. Thus having a portable recharging station would be a big benefit.
I was browsing today, and this popped up:

or as a hub + regulator package:

Assuming it does what it is supposed to, it should give a decent regulated 5V USB power source which then could be used to power phones, battery chargers, etc.
