Im not that close to pulling the trigger yet anyways. Like I said... Im waiting for the LED's that really make sense from the long term cost and efficiency standpoint better than halide/T5. They are close. I also question the specs that are given. There are national lighting industry standards for halides, T5s... etc... but none so far for LED's... so many of the ratings are marketing info at best.
