They are one of the standards in high end leds. However, it also depends on the wattage per LED and the lens that were added to the system you are looking at. I would say, more than likely, it is more than adequate for your requirements.

Cree are among the top innovators in the LED space. They make top quality products in my opinion. I also like that they post all of their data including failure rates so I can see how to best drive them to prolong their life and color retention.

The raw components, I think so. Now it comes down to color choices, optics, controllability, etc to determine if the fixture is valuable.

Best way to get an idea is to turn it on as dim as you can and take a picture. You can at least see generally which and how many colors.
