The cygos are nice but are micro-USB which is a dying plug type - the only item I own that uses it is actually my shifters. Not a deal breaker though.
My brightness requirement is 'enough to be seen, not so much that other commuters hate me. It's all battery life. More or less everything works fine at first but I find that very few lights can even make it through one commute when it's cold. A typical day is about an hour and a half total.
I also just suck at remembering to charge my light at the office. I would love something that only needs charging once every few weeks but that means a battery life of at least 20 hours in the cold - and the ability to do that after a few years use.
