Illuminite and visibility

Unlike many people my age (17), I am not invincible. For night rides I use my HID headlight, 2 rear blinkies, hi-vis yellow vest, and reflective ankle straps.
You see, if I get mowed down by a motorist, I don't want it to be because they didn't see me.

In Performance, etc. I'm seeing a lot of jerseys, jackets, vests, and even tights made out of "Illuminite" material, which is reflective at night:



How good is this stuff? The photos look good, but it looks like ScotchLite or Reflexite material would be brighter. Do you have any Illuminite clothing or have you seen a cyclist with it? Would adding it to my current setup make me more visible?
