I use the Super Flash but have never seen the Mars 3.0 actually being used. I know that the Mars 3.0 gets very good reviews, though, from what I've read about it.

My question is, "How do the Super Flash and Mars 3.0 compare in terms of side visibility?" I've been curious about the side panel (amber?) on the Mars 3.0 and whether it makes a better side visibility light than the Super Flash.

I am currently running both a Super Flash and the Cateye TL-LD1000 to help more with my side visibility (I'm not overly concerned with extra weight on the bike, but want good visibility).

This is how my rear lights are currently set up. Shot it diffused daylight indoors, this doesn't really show the overall night look very well, but does show how they're set up and a bit of the side visibility. I run the Super Flash in blinking mode and the TL-LD1000 solid.
