Both give terrific light, in my opinion.
I like my halogen lights as well. The two I have are infinitely adjustable. I have one next to my chair for hand work and one that I can move around in my sewing room if needed. I usually only work there in daylight hours so regular lighting for me is okay there. I also have halogens as under cabinet lighting in my kitchen. Won't ever go back! I agree they get a bit warm but the light they give off is well worth it!
