Bad timing

How does the output and color quality on this compare to the original LC-160 when used for ordinary key lighting of faces? I own 2 of those and love them and the 2nd one I bought has excellent color ( the first was a little magenta). I would love the idea of being able to slightly alter the color to match other fluorescents - just adding a touch of green or magenta but I'm afraid that by going full RGB the sheer gutsy output of the LC160 in white light would be diminished. I don't have any need for a soft source that puts out saturated colors.
 
The output is less on the LC-160RGBW compared to the LC-160 by about 20-30%. The LC-160RGBW is still a punchy light though. Here are the photometrics which can also be found on the Intellytech website under the Photometrics tab:

LC-160RGBW Photometrics:

Distance Mixed Color Temp. 3,000k 10,000k
3 Feet 3,050 Lux / 284 FC 2,950 Lux / 275 FC 3,390 Lux / 315 FC

Here are the regular LC-160 photometrics:
Distance Mixed Color Temp. 3,000k 10,000k
3 Feet 5,725 Lux / 532 FC 4,500 Lux / 418 FC 5,250


Regarding CRI, the bi-color LED's on the LC-160RGBW will be identical to the 2nd LC-160 that Lenny received as the LC-160RGBW use the highest CRI LEDs. They will match his current LC-160's
 
So this is about half as bright as the bicolor one?

Is there no HSL mode? What about mixing RGB with CCT LEDs? Are none of the RGB LEDs used at all in CCT mode?
