I am not really somebody who wants to be on the bleeding edge at all, but if somebody buys a new-to-the-market light and then has complaints, then it is on them. It is easy enough to wait and see how things work out before making a change. Price is no guarantee of anything, other than that money leaving your account. Caveat emptor, mostly, unless the manufacturer has lied to people, but even then, when has ANY LED company had totally accurate representations about power, spread or intensity? They are always best-case and not real-case.
