well i have used pc, mh, t5's and led, had the maxspec 170w version and liked it but just didnt give the coverage for my tank i needed and to the eye seemed no where near as bright as the tek 8 bulb t5 i had on it. needless to say after 3 weeks got rid of the led and put the tek back on, i switched to led to cut long term cost, ended up getting a ati 6 bulb and dropped 78 watts by losing 2 bulbs, imo i dont think any light, mh or led gives off the over all color or lighting completely of a tank like t5 does,
