Best current headlight for use with SA Dynohub GH6

Hi. I've got a '74 Raleigh Superbe I'm using as a frequent commuter. As the days get shorter, I feel like I need a better headlight. Right now I've got a Busch & Müller Classic N (which is the Lyt in a silver plastic shell), but A) it doesn't have a standlight and B), more importantly, it's just not bright enough, especially at low speeds.

What current-production (2019) dynamo headlight would you recommend, to get the most out of the Sturmy Archer GH6 dynohub's output? Ideally, $100 or less.

Also, I remember BF user @minisystem 's ingenious hub magnet upgrade from years ago, but I'm not quite up for that level of engineering -- but has anybody made a drop-in solution?

Thanks!
