I'm inclined to agree with you. I very much like my Cygolite Hotshot 150 Pro which does exactly as you said. Regardless a lamp like the Orfos has it uses as it would be much more visible at higher off-set angles. This would make it more useful once a vehicle is closer to the bike. Still, we're talking about a lamp with a much higher output. I'm sure that when in a mode 200 lm or greater that the Orfos is going to be very visible at distance.
