I think we have both been bike commuting in the dark for sixteen plus years; so I wouldn't knock you either.
I did have the NR digital system and it does deserve the negative reputation. You're correct when you say simpler is better. I still have an issue with their connectors though. If you ever get a chance to see Lupine's by comparison you'll see why.
I think you'd change you're opinion of LED lights if you used a Wilma. My last light was a 25w halogen and it was bright as all get out. It had a bright spot and a less bright ring of light. The Wilma just bathes the whole road with this bright light. It makes choosing your path around obsticles easier as it doesn't just light up a spot it lights everything. And it's one super bright light.
I don't use the Niterider connectors...or batteries for that matter...so I can't comment on their new connectos. I use RC connectors (Dean Ultra Connectors) and RC batteries. My system is old and uses the old round two connector plug to the light which was a pretty good system.
I doubt if there is a Wilma in my future...not as long as there is a "Margaret" in my present
I like sleeping under a roof that isn't 18" above my head. If I spent $800+ on a light, I'm not sure she'd let me sleep in the dog house...if we had one
