Thanks for doing the review, love to see more.
Absolutely agree 100%. From my own experience with switching to LED (from metal halide in fact), I had a major bleaching event due to the increased intensity of the LED light. (could also have been spectrum change, I guess, but the color temp looked around the same to me and I realize the appearance of it can also be deceiving for color temp) Lost a couple of corals in fact. LED's are very deceptive - they don't look as bright to you when you enter the room but I have a feeling that's because the light is very directional.
