+1 on church's comments. I bought two 4-step 5000K CX3070's last year. One is slightly bluer than the other. Took me a few days to even notice. I have no idea which is better for veg. Who knows, some strains might prefer a little more or less blue than others.
But I could certainly see where a lighting contractor putting in an expensive LED installation might want to stick with the 2-step.
