I was over there the other night, and his setup is certainly nice, and the color is awesome, but again, no long term history to consider yet.
I know what my 400w radiums can do in a year, I haven't seen the LED results yet, or not enough anyway.

Thanks for the kind words Brad, you are one of the first people to see it really (Ronnie did beat you to the punch tho)

Here are some pics of the Dimmable LED+T5 DIY for those interested:
