I personally am totally satisfied with the output of the Rebel LED's but Vertex just announced that the Illumina is to begin shipping with CREE LED's November 1st.
"Dear Aquarium enthusiast, business partner We are happy to bring to you exciting news regarding our elegant, superior line of LED luminaries “Illumina SR series”. As you are already aware, the LED technology is advancing forward rapidly. This presents us with the opportunity to develop better and stronger light sources that answer the needs of deeper aquariums and or aquarist with extremely high demanding species. Our original Illumina 200 fixtures have been equipped with “Luxeon Rebel” LEDs. While a great product and proved to be more than sufficient for any type of light demanding corals, new LEDs from Cree brand have been introduced that are much higher in output while maintaining similar CRI index and core temperature management curves. On the other hand customer feedback has us convinced that our current LEDs pack enough punch to answer the needs of all, even the light hungriest Stony corals and or other marine or fresh water flora and fauna. In most cases, users report that the operational intensity of LEDs (especially for white channel) had to be reduced to 40 – 60%. Considering the above field data, we have decided to keep the Illumina 200 luminaries in our program as the cornerstone of our LED lighting that will be sufficient for any aquaria. However, to answer the needs of extremely deep aquariums and or excessively light demanding species, we have decided to release the Illumina 260 luminaries, equipped with Cree XPG 139lm/W LEDs. Further to that Illumina 260 will be offered with much stronger Royal blue LEDs the XPE-425mV and the stronger Blue LEDs the XPE-30.6lm/W. This will make the Illumina 260 approximately upwards of 30% brighter and more PAR capable of Illumina 200 which was already renowned for its light output intensity. Another exciting news; we are delighted to report that the Illumina 200 models have been updated to Cree LEDs as well. This means all the new Illumina 200s shipped from the house of Vertex coming this November 1st 2010 will be equipped with Cree White 100lm/W XPE, Cree Royal Blue 350mV XPE and Cree Blue 23.6lm/W XPE. Illumina 200’s new LED configuration will maintain the same intensity of light-output both for White and blue channels, while intensifying the Royal blue output by approximately 20% compared to the original Illumina 200. This in return enables the aquarist to further tweak their Illumina 200s to their desired blue shade of light both for visual effect and increased fluorescent pigment agitating illumination. Table below will represent different versions of Illumina available up-to-date: Other exciting news about Illumina SR series is the release of our beta test MAC V-LINK software as well as introduction of auxiliary pads in other colors such as Red and UV chips in different combinations. All these new color modules will be controlled on separate channels. The increased aptitude of color composition will further enhance both visual effects, and the ability to better mimic a natural environment for captive animals exactly as nature intended. We look forward to hearing your feedback and review on our products and are looking forward to serving you in the near future. Best Regards, Vertex Aquaristik GmbH"

Too bad I just got mine about a month ago. But to be honest, it has more light power than I need. I have to scale down to 45% white, 70% blue, and 90% royal blue.
But I do wish they have more blue and royal blue LEDs than the white ones. Right now each module has 8 white, 4 blue and 4 royal blue.
