This is fairly subjective.

I always say that nothing makes corals look as good as the old 110 watt VHO 454 T12's did...

LED's have also come a long, long way in the last 5 years.

Remember the PFO Solaris?

Frankly, I would never drop 1000's of dollars on an emerging technology, which is what LED is for the aquarium trade.

All those guys and gals who dropped 1,2,3,4 or even 5 grand on a light that is how horrifically outdated were all necessary in getting this stuff to the point where it is being mass produced overseas....which is where we are now and why the technology is evolving so much faster now and at the same time, getting cheaper.

I have been watching LED come on for a while and it is really only within the last year or two that the quality of light seems to come pretty close to T5/MH.
