LED Choices - Please Help!

Hey everyone I have a bit of a dilema here. I want to get more lights into my 4x8 veg tent and wanted to stick with LED's but the choices out there are brain exploding. I already have one Mars II 1600W veg panel I was wondering should I stick with Topled and the Mars or should I try one of the other LED's out there? I got the Mars because it was a heck of a good deal and with this prospective panel I'm still looking for the most bang for my buck. Thanks Everyone oh and check out my grow log I just started using the Mars II.

Reading many journals here I ve gone with Platinum LED.

A bit more expensive but you get what you pay for and Platinum puts out more PAR per watt.
I my mind it has the best price by far for really good LED and will save on electric bill in short time over Mars II.

Ya I've been looking at those platinum also and been aeeing people getting some great results with them. I've read how the PAR is greater than the mars and the heat output is less I just need to read up some more on PAR in general.

PAR is based on spectrum that plants can use.
All I can say that my P450 does a 4 x 3" very well for just ~270W and I will order a P 150 for veg now and an other P450 in march.

Ya I'd like to get 2 p450 to fill in the other half of my 4x8 I just need to save up some more pocket change.
