I’m looking at both the Vanagon.org <http://vanagon.org/> and Gowesty.com <http://gowesty.com/> models, and while they both appear to function properly I’m wondering about the ‘intangibles.’ For example, the Vanagon.org model uses LED lights I believe. I kinda like the hazy yellow glow currently (or liked before I lost those lights!) and don’t want bright white lights. Maybe gowesty.com <http://gowesty.com/> is the same with LEDs? Not sure.
