I've been using 3 sets of the Evergrow D120s (same as the Reefbreeders) and they have been fine growing out LPS and SPS. The reason I got these were because of a study someone did that showed them quite similar tot he Radion Pros for Full Spectrum color but without all the bells and whistles.
I realize par is important but actual results speak volumes. We built very inexpensive fixtures for a few tanks using cheap Chinese 10 watt leds on aluminum heatsinks we had a buddy bend up into a U shape an put fans on either end then mounted into our canopies. Using surprisingly few of these over the past year, the the growth has been incredible!
Price has nothing to do with it. As long as you get a pleasing color AND growth, I say use them!
That being said, I have see several of the ebay special LED fixtures lose bulbs after a few months. Didn't seem to effect their performance from what I could tell but they weren't on my tanks.

Been to a few Rodeos and even a donkey show over the decades Reef Keeping and my experience with Cheap 10 watt multichips is they are simply awesome compared to CF for the garage or workbench but not for my reef.

To each his own. I won't get in a ******* contest over it. I am just going off of the experience of a group of us who use them. BTW, I've been reef keeping for over 25 years and used/built just about every kind of lighting available both commercially and just for experimenting.
Oh and I lived on a Brahma bull ranch for about 4 years too!
Just had to throw that in.
