no worries, I didn't think you were being dickish.
I also didn't realize you were in MI, props man, maybe we'll see each other at a convention/expo some time.
LED's are coming up in the world, sounds dumb, but if NASA stand behind it, all of a sudden shit gets real. The surprising part about LED's are that the most efficient panels I've seen are still using 1W diodes. That's not a "set in stone" thing, but the 3W, 5W and 10W diodes haven't been developed enough or made cheap enough yet.
I would gladly jump on the LED train or more likely the induction route with supplemental LED's. We don't have kWh rates like CA or HI, but I also know that my area is primarily powered by coal, and that's not cool.
I don't know your production numbers before (GPW or however you figure it), but a lot of the tweaks and hints have been figured out for new lighting and growing.
