Default MakersLED Heatsinks

Is anyone using these heatsinks?

They look really sweet.

I'm going to need additional lighting when my 40B moves into the 72x24x18 that I'm going to have built. I've now got two Sols, but I'll need a couple more fixtures. I thought I might add two Vega, but these heatsinks look so polished that I might do DIY instead.

I would save money, but not a whole lot.

Can anyone comment on the MakersLED heatsinks? Photos of your builds?

I saw the in person at MACNA. They were very cool. Maybe a little overpriced though.

I have an 18" one over my 20 gal cube and really like how easy it is to move led's around if you need to. I agree a bit over priced, but it's totally clean looking, easy to mount because of the extruded rails on the top, comes with end caps, easy to drill and insert rubber grommets for wires. All in all I love this heat sink and will be buying another 5' piece when I get to filling my 210.
