That is exactly my experience. I have no need for a high powered light on my bars, lighting up the stuff in the distance, because (due to the twisting nature of mtb trails), that point will be trees, rocks and bushes.
The helmet light will be looking around the corner, so having that brighter than my bar light helps my eyes/brain look at that.
Maybe, if I had a handle bar light that, while high powered, was spread in a very wide, and even, beam pattern, it would work better.
