Take a look at some of the other threads floating around. Lots of talk about it if you'd look.

A lot of logs started with the 90w UFO, not many finished. Can't even remember the last time I saw one actually go from start to finish. Stay away from the crap on ebay.

I think people are scared to spend that kinda money on LED and are afraid their plants will yield much less.

LEDs work, but people aren't doing homework.
LEDs give a lot less room for error if you are building your own system. You have to get the right nm wavelengths that HID lighting does automatically, but inefficiently. LEDs are better then HIDs on paper, and can work very well if you do it right.

I've followed a couple of his threads thru flowering, and have to agree, need LOTS of LED to flower. So I"m sticking to HPS for flower,.... for now.
