I think it is running at 100%, cuz it wouldn't be fair to compare a 90% LED to MH and T5 as those are only can run at 100%.
Since I have both straight blue/white, and the colored models over my tank side by side, I'm not getting used to it. I still see it. I've only been using the colored model for a short time, so I don't have any data on whether coral growth is more or the same with the extra colors.
I agree, that neither look bad. I just like the "crispness" of the blue/whites.
Logan from ReefBreeders sent me optics and 2 royal blues to replace the reds. I'm going to post new PAR numbers after installing the optics, for those who are wondering. I'll also take a couple side by side comparison shots so you can see the spread.

With 90 degree optics, par is about 280 at 24" down, 1300 just below the surface.

I hope this helps
