AngryScientist, that looks like a decent little light. But I just HAVE to say, why would they ruin that beautiful studio product shot with that eyesore of a factory warning sticker on the top tube? 
I think my local shop has the Mars 3.0 on hand, so I'll be taking a close look at that when I head down again.

I had that light before it was stolen by my brother. It works great and can be mounted vertical or horizontally. Has several flashing modes, very brilliant. Only drawback is a bit tall and when a seat bag is added, they may be fighting each other.

I stopped by the local shop tonight to check out my options there. After browsing aimlessly, I asked the manager for his opinion. He also recommended the Super Flash. He also recommended just clipping it to your back left jersey pocket for higher and wider visibility. So no areo drag and no having to stuff it between my cheeks.
For the record, I'm not actually worried about areo drag, just the aesthetics of the bike as a whole. I'm weird like that.

I use this. I don't usually turn it on in the daytime though.

One more vote for pb super flash. small, light, very bright and easy to engage. Luckily, my new bike has some white in it so it matches.

Yeah, the primary use for this light is dusk/dawn type riding. I hope to never be caught out at night and in the daytime, I would hope a brightly colored jersey would be seen before a flashing light.
