I've never used a posh dynamo hub so perhaps I don't know what I'm missing but there's absolutely nothing about my Alfine one that makes me think I should have spent (considerably) more for an SP or Son.

I can't see an Alfine at considerably less than an SP. Not saying they can't be had, or SP are especially better. How much did you pay for yours?
Edit: I see you were refering to the shimano jobber in that link. Spa have SP PV8 for £22 more, but the only real advantage will be that it's prettier / lighter. Then again you can service the bearings on the Shimano to a point.

What do people think of this as a commute/light tour hub? I don't know how dynamos are best set up: where does the cabling go?
