I'd be OK with that...
That's what I want for my RSM 250D ^ , a plug & play 5 mins install 
Willing to pay some $$$ for that

Exactly....
If I don't get an RS tank with LED I'm going to retrofit one with GHL Mitras. Not the cheapest light on the market but WOW! I'd just have to figure out the best way to "shoe horn" it into a hood because I'm not ready to give up the nice clean "Enclosed" look I'm used to with my RSM 130D.

IMO RS should offer a complete retro for the S-series as they advertised the original system as upgradable in the future. They would sell a lot more of them also. I'm not interested as I'm pleased with my led mod but would be disappointed if they made their customers by an entire new fixture. These fixtures are heavy duty and very well designed. Looks great too.
I went with the XR30W Gen 2. As close as the lights will be to the water I am not sure it is worth the money to go with the Pro. You could always upgrade later, if you decide you wanted to. Below are some of the differences.
In the Gen 3, the XR30W has a max par of 900
• Cool White: 8 Cree XT-E (40W)
• Deep Blue: 6 Osram Oslon Square (24W)
• Blue: 8 Cree XP-E (24W)
• Green: 4 Cree XP-E Green (14W)
• Hyper Red: 4 Osram Oslon SSL (12W)
• Indigo: 4 SemiLEDs (10W)
• UV: 4 SemiLEDs (10W)
The Pro has a max par of 1100
• Cool White: 8 Cree XP-G2 (40W)
• Deep Blue: 8 Osram Oslon Square (40W )
• Blue: 8 Cree XP-E (24W)
• Green: 4 Cree XP-E (14W)
• Hyper Red: 4 Osram Oslon SSL (12W)
• Yellow: 2 Osram Oslon SSL (6W)
• Indigo: 4 SemiLEDs (10W)
• UV: 4 SemiLEDs (10W)

The diff from the pros to the reg in gen3 is not as big as gen2. The gen2 pros had uv where the reg did not. Like mark said, more deep blue and some yellow separates them now. I wouldn't pay the difference now. The amount of blue can be adjusted . Just the extreme ranges would be impacted.
Me too, I really hope Red Sea do this for us existing owners, I only bought mine in January this year.

I haven't heard any change from the "2015" announcement.

Yes, when Red Sea was asked about LED kits for their tanks, the response was "we believe 2015 will be a great year".

I wouldn't hold your breath. They seem busy spreading the news about the new Red Sea Reefer line of tanks right now.

Hi Folks, nothing has changed, as we have said, anyone who has signed up for our newsletter will be informed of the launch date of the LED system for the S series and the launch of the E Series http://www.redseafish.com/red-sea-newsletter/ it will be worth waiting for I'm sure.
