I can't say money well spent but certainly won't be going back to mh or t5 ever again.

Wow, the idea that I could do this with a 48" had never occured to me, I really didn't think I could get away with that. That does make the Illumunia more manageable cost wise.
You say "only 5 panels lit up" how many panels in total are there in your 5' fixture so I can get some perspective here.
