yup, read through that one. shows good results but only compares T5 bulbs with other T5 bulbs. in the Q&A thread there are some test comparing T5 and MH. i change my overdriven bulbs once a year. but your right after all is said and done they are about the same price. for me though the price of buying and running a chiller had to be factored in. in some areas this is not a concern and MH would be a better choice, there is no dout good and bad with each. just depends on your system and its needs.
