Having had both the 987 base with halogens and the xenons on the S I actually think they're comparable at low beam, the projector headlamps work much better than any standards halogen that I've seen.

However, the combination of the low beam xenon and halogen high-beam spotlight on the S is truly outstanding. It seems to be almost double the range of the halogen only high-beams.

Long story short, for rural driving where you can use high-beams more, I'd have to agree with Mtch.
