Handle bar light + helmet light - Is this overkill???

I want to ride a fairly well known paved trail at night. Propose to have one of the following options:

Option 1: Cygolite Trion 600L handlebar + Stella 200L helmet light

Option 2: Cygolite Trion 600L handlebar + Magicshine (700ishL) helmet light.

Optione 3: Cygolite Trion 600L handlebar - no helmet light + Magicshine as backup.

I can see where the helmet light can help me go faster on curves since I can point light in direction of eyes. I have also heard where adding helmet light can mess with depth perception, probably on a mountain bike trail. Also wondering if the big light would wash out the helmet light anyway.

What do you all think ?

Thanks,
