I think it depends on what you want to reuse from the Mars Aqua lights. It sounds like you are planning to remove the existing LEDs, so that basically leaves the drivers, the enclosure, and the knobs. The drivers put out around 90 volts, so 27 LEDs may work.

With the cost of the LEDs, you'd probably be better off replacing the drivers too.
