If round is what you have...stick with them. They do a better job of lighting,
and are cheaper and easier to get. Lots of folks are converting back from
rectangular to round because they are easier to get, and illumination is better.
I understand that there are some rectangular ones that you can get that really
work, but they cost an arm and a leg...I have seen some of the discussion on this
list, but don't remember exact cost...but near $100 or better for a pair.

Stick with the round if you already have them.
