Who has LED ONLY SPS tank?

Now, we have good High Power LED lighting system such as SOLARIS and AquaIllumination. These LED lights may be a replacement for MH, but I NEVER heard that someone has LED ONLY SPS tank.
So, if you can share your LED ONLY SPS tank, it is reference for people who are considering the lighting system to LED like me.

Yes I'm very happy with the lights, coral growth, and coloration.

I have a 72" I series over my 265g. I also have 4 x 39W actinic T5's to brighten up the sides and front where the Solaris doesn't reach. I have good growth, but I am working on achieving some better colors.
