Great grow hoss! I am looking into several LED companies to try out and am pretty much going to go with the Pro Grow. I like the switchable spectrum control plus the IR and UV which a lot of LED's don't have. I've heard a lot of positive things about the white LED's. Cree are definitely second to none in terms of quality. Do you know if they are using true 3W diodes? There are many companies that use 3x 1W diodes but advertise as 3W. Magnum is one of these. Not that this makes the Magnums bad, in fact I will probably try out the new Magnum Plus, but they are stacking their diodes. Blackdog's look interesting too, but are very expensive and you have to choose a spectrum for your light (red/blue/or full) which I don't really like.
Also, what insight might you have about switching spectrums? Everyone says something different. Some say they go blue for veg and red for flower, others say they go full spectrum all the way through, and all the various permutations of the three. Have you experimented with the various spectra during veg and flower?
There was a rumor that LED lights caused flowering to take longer, have you found this to be the case? I can't figure out why it would; scientifically it doesn't make much sense.
