aww i love these threads
by saying t5's your just saying a type of bulb. unless you state the t5 fixture than you can compare them to t5's. I think alot of people a mislead by these threads and think that the general idea of t5's is comparable.
imo if your comparing a TEK or powermodual they are basically the same as MH. I did a par test comparing the 2 and they both put out similar numbers. Personally i prefer t5's because you can customize your light spectrum (you can do the same with MH... by adding t5's lol) and they produce less heat, but you loose the shimmer from the MH.
It all comes down to what you enjoy. I ended to going to a friends place to check out his t5 tek set up which is what sold me on them. but to each their own... btw the die hard MH fans are already trying to lead you to the dark side lol.
