Anyone have experience with Evolution LED's?

I've heard some great stuff about these units. Can anyone with experience running them post what they thought? Any tips, comments and advice is welcomed! This is the one I was thinking about...

Just got 3 of the 20k units, very satisfied. the tank looks really good. my blues come on at 8a and my whites come on at 9 via reefkeeper lite. planning in getting some for my 240.

Has anyone done Par reading with these? they are very affordable too. I run 48 XPG LED's and they are great! but at the price of the Evolution why not, unless ofcourse par is not all there.

Thanks.

The par is there for my tank. I'm not sure how they would do on a deeper tank though. I've had 2 of these units for 2 weeks and the color improvements and growth in my sps is far better than my 150w halides, (which grew sps and clams just fine.) I don't have a par meter but lux meter readings are about double those of 2x150w halides and 4x65w actinics. My alkalinity dosing is up also so the sps and clams must be growing faster.

my LPS and SPS corals look much happier.
