Ya, I think they're fairly comparable, intensity and coverage wise. Problem is I can't afford 5, so if 3 didn't work, I'm stuck.
I guess until I see a colorful SPS tank running 3, I can't consider this.

Yeah although it would be cool to see 200W of LED replace 1200W of halide it does seem unlikely.
