So I guess all eyes are not created equal either.

I think you're right. There are so many variables involved, our eyeballs being one of them. Our eyes are all different and they do not render light the same. Our brains process that light slightly differently from person to person. Some people see LEDs and they're like WHOA, that's so bright! Some people will look at the same light and say, WHOA, that's not very bright at all. Some people really like the look of the fiji purple T5 bulb and the colour it casts. Some people HATE it.
From all of these threads there are actually two discussions in one which is part of why we keep bouncing around like kids in a bouncy house. 1. Is the light adequate from a technical point of view (growth, colour of corals, controlability etc). 2. Does the light look good (colour cast, colour of corals, spread, spectrum, etc).
