One of the appealing things about Budmaster is that Budmaster is in the UK. For those of us in the UK, local warranty is worth a fair bit. Get them to sell Amare in the UK, then there would 3 decent led companies here. How much is import costs on a $2000 light? A lot I imagine...I wanted so much a Budmaster few years ago. How can you even compare prices? BM too expensive ... they charge 1400$ + for 450w?
GOD = 1900$ - 450w
HPS = 1537$ - 450w
COB = 1410$ - 450w
OD = 1537$
Ohhh an there we have the XG at 1000$ (the oldest?)
What am I missing here?
Amare sells 900w with 2000$ ... this was the main reason I chose Amare over Budmaster. 2x power, same money, good build. We can even assume that Budmaster is a better build or has a better spectrum etc (witch I doubt), would it be that good?
Does anyone think that a G.O.D. will match a Pro9? ... the cost is the same, right?
Amare may be ok for lazy people that don't want to put together a decent cob set up. I'm in to pre made panels too myself, don't get me wrong. I cannot be fucked to build my own light or learn how to, so I'm going to pay through the nose for a decent led.
I actually quite like what Amare have done with mixing white light with normal leds, but it ain't worth the outlay getting one sent to the UK.
