I know it... I could have had a killer deal on an N71 and would've paired it with a Lumotec...but alas, I want something that will ride me through the next Rapture. I've researched this list and Bicycle Lifestyle and have seen too many complaints about Shimano's unreliability when it comes to dynamos. I figure with the lower drag, better looks and likelihood of the SON lasting at least as long as two Shimanos, it's worth it.
And I can always rationalize purchasing the finest bike finery!
