The ballast is designed for VHO T12's. When you slap them onto HO T5's, they overdrive. As far as the workhorse goes, I couldn't say as I'm only repeating what I've read in the past.
Regarding the IceCap claims, I asked ASH on RC in the support forums like a year and a half ago. That was the reply he gave me and many others. If you go into the HUGE T5 thread there, you'll find a lot of user reviews that will substantiate the claim.
