If you have power to spare you may want to try raising the lights higher and just increase the power to compensate. Did that with my Hydra's and got much better results than with the lights set lower and dialed back.

I have considered that, however the current height ensures no light spills out of the display. Kessil did an excellent job making sure that light was distributed evenly with out hot spots. In fact I think Kessil would win the Pepsi Challenge vs Radion G4 in both light distribution and PAR.
See here in this video shows what I mean, starting @ 21:00 mark.
This is exactly what I found when I took my reading.
 
What I find funny is that the radion fanboys have been eating up the whole hei lenses thing when they are just basically tiny fisheye lenses which the AP700 also has just a giant one and then Kessil goes a step further and adds a big reflector on top of that to get rid of hotspots.
