That's because it's an ever developing technology and every reefer has different eyes.
I agree that LED looks so much nicer than t5 but I think you would find the best fit in going with T5 and supplementing with LED.
Even putting a cheap hamilton strip light to accentuate my 2 55 watt CF bulbs in my RSM130 makes huge difference.
You could spend 150-200 bucks on a sweet, controllable led that will make your corals pop and still get the growth you're looking for from T5's.
That being said, if you'll thoroughly enjoy the learning and building process for an LED, that's probably worth the trial and error in and of itself.
