There is simply no comparison between those cheap chinese fixtures and a good quality fixture. Thermal management, drivers, the led emitters themselves will all be better in a better fixture. I would not count on reliability or efficiency from that Taotronics unit. I conducted a side by side test using Cree, Bridgelux, Seoul Semiconductor and cheap no name chinese 3w LEDs and there was a significant difference in output on the exact same driver.
If you want to save money the best approach is a DIY array using Cree emitters and Meanwell drivers.
