I probably won't make the money back going with LED's either but with the very low thermal load of the new LED's it was a very good choice. And I was able to mix soft white LED's with Daylight white LED's.

FYI: I used new Cree lights available at HD.
Russ,
Another benefit to using LEDs is they last so much longer than incandescent bulbs. Less ladder time = more golf time!
