Full CT 201 vs 3/4 CT 281

Hello Listers

As the header implies, I'm interested on your views about correcting tungsten sources to daylight spectrum. Roscoe 201 (full ct) gels transmit only 34% to get to 5700k. Roscoe 281 (3/4 ct) gels transmit 45.5% and get to 5000k. Obviously, any time you color correct a source, there is a price to be paid, but a 11-12% increase in transmission is worth something given equal gel cost. What are your thoughts about the difference in color temp vs the increased transmission possible with the warmer gel? Obviously location - time of day may influence this. I usually warm my ice cold daylight LEDs a bit anyway....

Any other thoughts about using gels to correct tungstens would be appreciated.

I know this response may be of no help at all, but it just depends on what you are trying to accomplish visually(or need to accomplish technically). Even though I use LED's a LOT now, I still consider myself a tungsten guy and have a gel roll big enough to choke a hippo full of mostly color correction in grades from 1/8 to full. I even have one in my main HMI case with gels going from 1/8 to full in CTO, CTB, minus green and plus green.
