I'm looking into doing LED on my new build but can't come to grips with the ugly pricing. The Maxspect looks decent but I haven't heard back from Eric on what he thinks I need in terms of units for the size of my future tank. I would also be interested in what the Cree version of the Maxspect costs.

The Key LED's don't look as polished as the Maxspect but at half the price and with CREE XP-E LED's...they don't sound terrible either. The Pacific Sun units look awesome but their pricing (even with the sale that is on right now) is still way out to lunch. I think everyone agrees that the AI units are also amazing but I'm not planning a second mortgage just to get lighting for my tank.
I heard good things about the aqua illuminations. I havent looked at them for a while but last time they were sitting at 650 a fixture. you get free firmware updates for the timers when the do upgrades. I have a box of LED supplies in my closet. I was planning on a led build but got lazy. but yeah, the XREs and xpgs are definately the best....but Im rambling.
