We havent seen those LEDs in action, however having seen our quick comparison between the generic chinese(GC) ones we got to the CREEs we are looking at at least half the intensity in the GC emitters to the CREE XR-Es and that is to the human eye as well. So if those emitters from stevesleds is GC emitters that are at $2.15/ea you would be trading price for performance imo. this is not to say that all chinese emitters are going to be as poor in performance as the ones we are testing. but a big percentage of them will be around this range.
