Re: Dynamo front wheel
If you're only running lights (modern LEDs) and not charging stuff from the dynamo then 1.5W should be enough according to the collective Internet wisdom especially with 700C wheels. IIRC the other difference between the XT and the cheaper Shimano ones is that it has an alloy axle as opposed to steel.
I would've bought the same hub if I hadn't thought charging would be useful. As it happens I've never used the charging port of my B&M front light in the first year of ownership.

Cheers Old Ned, bought the Spa Cycles one (with a lamp upgrade) and it's doing ok right now. Apologies, should have amended the post to 'sorted'.
