There are many brands and new nodels out there some work way better than others, but as of yet none compare to HPS/MH, but some do come close.
Have you ever seen a side by side using identical wattage? I highly doubt it.

The last high dollar 600w LED setup I was looking at claimed 18,000-24000 lumens, that pathetic. Seems like it was well over a thousand too. I don't even see it being an option..

Nope but I'd like to, being when compared 126 led is said to be equal to a 600 watt HPS/MH.

It'd be nice to see a watt per watt match up.

Those are some pretty nice results, but still IMO for the price not worth it.

Just because a mfg claims 90 or 100 or 126 watts is equivalent to 400-600w of HPS doesn't mean we should take that at face value.
A true benchmark would be watt for watt in my opinion. One may argue they're not comparable in price but in my opinion technology benchmarks are rarely fair in that aspect or we would never advance.

I agree 100%.
I don't own one due to price and the fact they still lack a bit.
But I see leds being the future of indoor growing.
If I were the OP, I'd buy a killet fan/filter combo for the price of a nice led setup.
But he appears to have his mind made up.

Again it's hard to say they lack not have giving them a full on grow. Look at LED-girls setup in her 5x6' room on icmag she runs 1500+ w of LED (retail value of 4800$) and grows monstrous plants.
Even giving them a true side by side isn't fair when you think of low heat which means less exhaust requirements which means it's a lot easier to make a closed room with perfect conditions for growth.
So I mean how do you justify saying they lack? In my opinion they need to be exploited for their low heat output to preform as good as they can. If I ever got LED's I'd def make a closed room for them.
