I would get the 1216's bro... U get that 90cri and the drivers will be cheaper, also as those chips are new you will know your getting gen 6 chips.. Now if they had 1812's or 1818's in 90cri that were gen 6 i would say that would be the best way, but as u stated u would be over budget... Those 1216's are pretty cool.. I started a thread on them awhile back, should be in the threads list, lower voltage draw, higher efficiency... 1216's bud, i think you'll be very happy..
Cheers
