I'm not afraid of the dark, it's a simple case of brighter lights up further down the road which allows you to ride faster. I'm often 'outrunning my lights' on audaxes because I only use my smaller lights and run them low to save batteries. When I'm racing 24s I crank the power up so I'm confident of seeing potholes, corner apexes, etc.
The pure is more than enough, but if you're a bit affraid of the dark (like when cycling in foreign countries) then the most output you'll have the happier you'll be.
