I run LEDs, too, but am not as adept.

The up-front cost is very high now. Most of the lamps you see hawked are getting mighty close to snake-oil territory. BUt if you can get your hands on some serious LED gear you will see that it cango toe to toe with HIDs and be a serious contender.
i have many old school friends who are adding LED and removing HID after watching my grows....i found most important is having the 660nm and 3500k warm white wavelengths in getting proper finishing times.
