I for one don't think that LED can look as good. Yup, rip out the railings, the tables, and everything else, and you can roll a 2000-lb Genie lift anywhere you want! (Just joking, but obstructions are an issue, and so is the weight of the lift on the stage, in the garden areas, on the floors, through narrow passageways, etc.) As for how LED lights look, it's all about color temperature and filtering. Start with warm color temperature of 2700K or lower. If your LEDs can't produce that, then color filters or stable liquid coatings applied directly on the emitters is the big secret. Very good point though - LEDs can suck. There is a difference between a simple installation and a correctly designed installation.
