I agree with you to a certain extend. True the diodes are only made by a select fee companies, but what really sells them are the functionality and looks of the fixture. More importantly what will be more suited for each individual reefer's needs. Personally I would pick reeftech over orphek simply because they don't offer the dimmerable option.

Orphek may be a smaller company but their only focus is on Coral health and propagation.
They are not rebadging CREE or Luxeon LEDs they are making and producing their own....
The whites are a true 15k. They don't need blue to give the apperance they are 15k plain and simple.
I think this comparison tank says a lot about the power and pop of their LEDs. We all keep dancing around products that are virtually the same no matter what box they are puit in. Sure there will be a little difference based on drivers and voltage settings....but very little.
