I was looking at the 12 inch all blue to use as an actinic light to supplement my 20L to bring more of that burst of colors for the corals, but at $175+tx for only 6bulb led unit.. you confirmed form me that it is best for me to just wait a little longer and get in 2 par30 all royal blue bulbs, which would give me 10-bulb leds total with optics.

In the mean time, I will keep my fingers crossed for future improvements.

Can't wait to see some video of these though, just to see what they look like.
if you are just looking for some "pop" grab a hand full of XP-E royal blues, slap them on a u-channel from the hardware store, throw a driver on it and you have a very nice LED supplement for your 20L. You can pull it off for under $75
