Perhaps with links and documentation I'd acquiesce, but it does sound a lot like the arguments when CFL's were first gaining in pouplarity. However, they were/are an affordable risk.
As I said, I'm hopeful about future generations in the LED realm, but you make my point for me. "Pretty much" there isn"t "there". Once LED's get "there" and the price goes down, perhaps I'll give it a whirl. Until then, on my budget...out of the question.

Seems we've taken over the thread. Oops. <sorry>
