I have GP750's and find them to be a good balance of colour. I had 850's before and they were a tad blue for my liking. I seen photos of the CREES but thought them a bit dim. I think for the money GP750's take some beating

So are xenons brighter than leds? I heard xenons can cause discolouring to rings overtime since they heat up.a lot?
