Personally, I'm a huge fan of halide/led hybrid. I think halides are the best and LED's allow color control. I tried switching to all LED using Kessil, but rehung the halide pendant along side. It's a good compromise [emoji4]

I ended up with the ATI fixture. For SPS I think T5 is where it's at. Blue LED's make everything pop well.

The LED's in the ATI are definitely inferior to the Radeons or Kessils. In a perfect world I'd probably have done the 3 smaller Radeons with 6 T5 bulbs retrofitted into a custom hood... But I wanted something sleek and simple, with one Plug.

Definitely happy with the purchase, will say though one super big negative is you have to have a windows box to program the ATI. I had to boot camp my Mac which was a huge hassle. I mean there's a LOT of mac users these days. I have no clue why they wouldn't develop the software for both OS's.
