Lots of people ignore my advice about LED "bulbs" though, but there is no getting around it being illegal, or that they shine the light in ways that simply aren't compatible with precision-engineered Halogen reflectors. That said, I'm probably a bit overly touchy about this. :)
If you want a more budget friendly way to go, you could probably get a very good result by first getting something like the Eastern Beaver headlight bypass, as you say. This will give you all the voltage your bike is capable of as it's a direct connection to the battery, and that will probably make your bulbs a bit brighter. A bulb that does 1000 lumens at 12.8 volt will do 1400 at 14+ volts. You're not likely to see that dramatic a drop, but every .1 of a volt is more brightness.
You almost certainly want this one, that wires under the tank: http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/Bike_Specific/Triumph/triumph.html
I have a single H4-variant of his relays on my bike, even though it has a LED. May as well offload the keyswitch as much as possible.
It's also a fact that Triumph stock reflectors are often cheap trash. The Rocket with dual headlights has famously horrid lights, same for the Speed Triple with the dual rounds. I have no reason to doubt you have the same problem... Fortunately, reflectors alone are pretty inexpensive.

But you can get two of those for $90 or so off Amazon. www.amazon.com/HELLA-002850871-Halogen-Conversion-Headlamp/dp/B0002M9QKQ
Cibie also makes good 5.75 inch / 135 mm ones if you can find some.
