Heck, I paid almost that much for my new battery!

I might go in Thursday to buy another cheap (but magnificent) bike, just to build my arsenal (I'll have to modify my light system to be transferable.)

(Back to regularly scheduled programming...)
And with oil now at $50/barrel here in the USA, we can just about justify any purchase. MAW-HAW-HAW-HAW...Don't know about you, but I'm sitting pretty with my fam how that gas prices are so high.-Virginia

Ray,
Guess it would depend where you're riding. If you're on a mt Bike trail, or bike lane the narrow angle is the way to go. But if you're on the street, you need to see the whole lane and maybe a little extra. Not all 36 degree floods will give the same result. The reflector is probably giving a crisp view up close and then fanning out the light for distance.
