Brad, I wasn't getting spotlighting, but rather 3 faint cone effects with just running 3. With the DIYs, it eliminated that.

You are familiar with my tank. You know that my highest rock is 12" below the water surface. Even now I run my SOLs at 60% and am still getting great colours. I started my LEDs at 60% and still bleached out some of my coral but was able to recover them, it just looked horrible during the recovery period. Just wanted to advise you based on experience.

Hope this helps. At 60% I don't think it looks dark. But I'll tell you one thing, when I switched over to LEDs 15 months ago, I regretted at first because it's such a different look compared to halides. The halides looked brighter and more like the sun. But now I love em. It grew on me I guess. Sorry for the rant.
