Bower, good points there. There is something else to consider...
Today I went to my local Hydroponics shop. I trust the opinion of the Manager. I explained my situation, although he knows I run GHs. We got talking about the HID lighting. He flat out recommended the cheap "batwing" reflector, as opposed to the expensive hood that was on display. I asked about it, he said it would be a waste of money for me. So... in essence, I trust the guy.
Anyhow, he pointed out the 1 big, overwhelming problem with LED.. what happens if the Diodes start burning out? How do you fix it? At least with HID lighting, the bulbs are always available.
