from everything i have read. 5 bands is all you really need. anything else is wasted more than its used. i am not an expert on this tho so dont call it gospel. you really need to do some more research before you jump right in and buy a panel online based on someone elses' testimony.read,research get comfortable w/your decision before you purchase and i think you will be happy.
i was gonna drop a grand on kessils and then they started having all the problems whew! god smiled on me that day :)
good luck!

Here is a link to a guy called Irishboy on 420magazine. I think he is on here too but cant find him. His avatar in his 420 profile has colas next to a soda bottle which were grown under LED. Anyone who wants to say that LED cant work when used properly is going to choke on their HPS bulbs.

http://www.420magazine.com/forums/journals-progress/112167-irish-boys-glh-600w-led-grow.html

There are a number of grows to show what the various lights can do. He is trying to explore the multiple lights with overlapping light to see the effectiveness.

I also wish that certain people would stop dragging out that old chestnut that some manufacturers of 90W ufo's claimed to compare to a 400W. Most people whether they are pro LED or not know that that was simply bullshit so lets stop trying to discredit them with these loser claims made by idiots 3 years ago. The technology has moved forward alarmingly quick.

only 2 watt diodes in the 1250 tho? it seems like for 3k it would have the newest and best parts. im not saying its not badass i'm sure it is. but dont the 3w diodes perform better? and what is a "50 watt high powered chip?" never heard of those before. looks nice i do like the extended reflector but it seems a-lot pricey for what it is. =645 watt actual draw led w/reflector. it seems like the isis lights @700 watts actual draw for a grand is a-lot better deal granted no hood but damn for an extra 2k im handy enuf to figure something out. plus the isis have 3 watt chips which are more efficient right?
i mean i know you have all sg lights and im not knockin your results you've got a helluva op goin on over there these are just some thoughts bouncin around in my cranium :)
peace
