For more than a year I've been using a Cateye EL200 in the strobe mode and that seems to catch motorists' eyes. However, in the last week I've had two motorists pull out in front of me as if they couldn't see me. Both had cellphones attached to the sides of their noggins, but I'm thinking it couldn't hurt to put a little more light upfront. Most of my commute follows streets lit with "cobra head" sodium vapor lamps, so the primary purpose of my light is to command attention, not light the way.

My first idea was simply to buy a second EL200, in the interest in handlebar symmetry and all. But I thought I'd turn to the council of elders for advice. What light, costing $50 or less, is a good solution for me. Thanks in advance.
