My LED grow panel is cool but it's just not possible to effectively bend the light around my indoor tomato plant such that the plant can get the light it needs to, that is to say I can have it shine from the top, or any side, but there's always a significant leaf area not really getting light. So I bought a second light to help with that and also so I can focus a bit more light on my seed starts, so far my Big Beef tomato starts are growing like someone fed them meth, holy shit I think it's been 3 weeks since I put the seeds in the starter cells and they're 5" tall.

Yes, objectively. If you're considering their performance they're better in every way, less heat, less power, more light, and the lights only produce the proper wavelengths needed, they don't just piss out all colors of the rainbow at once like an HID/fluorescent/incandescent. They cost a little more per watt but IMO that's not even really an argument anymore unless you're extremely tight on cash.
