Leyznene Macro Drive or Cateye Volt 300 ?

[vickster]

What are people's thoughts on the Lezyne micro drive? I ride on lit roads, usually in quite heavy traffic, so I am looking for a 'be seen' light. I worry the macro is a) overkill b) too bright for urban environments c) a + b = no need to spend the extra £16!

Cheers

I contacted Lezyne to ask if I could hang it upside down. They said yes. Forgot to ask if it would upset computer, 9cm away.
The charging socket could be designed so that the lead for a digital camera also fits it.

I have the micro rear light and it is more than bright enough for being seen, I have the macro front, but that only becomes useful for unlit roads. The micro can be a little tricky to charge as it will cover any neighbouring USB port, but not an issue if you have lots on your computer.
