Agree 100%. There's way too many success stories and beautiful SPS tanks lit with LEDs for it to be the LEDs fault. However, I think the success stories are from those who either get really lucky with the right settings or do a lot of tweaking (probably with the help of a PAR meter) to get things dialed in just right. Either way, I think MH and T5s are way more plug and play. I've honestly considered switching to MH as well but I'm having luck with the Radion so I don't want to break something that's working.
