I sometimes have the same feeling of "shoulda gotten what I wanted", and didn't want it when I was thinking about lights. But honestly, part of my rationale was that the SON hub is just so g-d beautiful. And I sure haven't been disappointed by its performance. (Not that I know how it is performing relative to how a Shimano dynohub would perform, so that opinion isn't worth much.)

I just can't settle for less, unless its way less. I just don't want to spend money twice. I do this often and regret it later. I compromise and find out later I should have purchased what I wanted. I nearly always end up doing so later wasting the initial money I spent in the first place. I can see myself using a generator hub of quality and riding more because I have one. Maybe some of you can explain the real world realizationsyou had after getting a Son hub or......did any of you find out that you really didn't need such a fancy setup?
