You have to be a bit careful about the results that BRS draws. Some of there comparisons are fine, like t5 to Radion. But then they extrapolate the results to all leds which is completely absurd. Big led panels like a 32" Reef Breeders Photon V2 is a VERY different animal than a Radion with 2 small pucks as a source for light. So a Radion doesn't bounce much light off the glass back into the tank. I'll wager a Photon V2, or any other 3w led panel fixture, would do much better than the Radion in the same comparison. Their test results are probably spot on, but their conclusions are much to sweeping and over stated.
