I haven't seen either light in the dark so I can't comment personally.

I'm all in favor of small single-led lights at the front, but not at the back. That's why I equip all my bikes with a Smart E-Line. 3 LEDs that you can see from a good distance.
Smart also has a front light with the exact same shape, so if you don't like red you can always get a front one as well (they cost a fiver) and put the transparent cover on the taillight. It'll still be red when it's on, but white when it's off.
I did that on my Copperhead, as I liked it better in white than in red on that one. My 503 has a red one though.
However it has 3 modes. constant, flashing and ... ermm ... Knight Rider. I never use the last 2.
Power comes from 2 AAA batteries, which will last 50 hours on constant mode and 100-ish hours on the other 2.

I've got this one, plenty bright enough and despite the clamp looking a bit rubbish it works just fine and the light clips on and off really easily.

Your not riding with a RED light on the front are you?

No, I just have a lot of leftover front internals and red covers in my shed.
