Unless heat or power consumption is an issue, I do believe that HID is better than LED.

You also might want to look at a MH/HPS combo, or a dual spectrum lamp.

They would have to be able to prove to me that the 90w LED blub is really equivelent to the 400w HPS. Because I just dont believe it, I am a Master Electrican by trade and I just dont see it giving off the same lumins and light spectrum as that 400w HPS. I would go with what you defineatly knows works and that 150w HPS may be small but, it has worked for many of us.

Same with Dee. Let them work out the new tech kinks. Out of curiosity, im thinking about 150W system, for personal use only. How many plants could 150 successfully handle? About 4??
