I have both setups, cobs and strips and the strips win hands down. The multi point origins of light are what help this. Cobs are intense in their own right but they are a single point source of light. Quantum’s are multi point as well, but unless something has changed in the last year they seemed impossible to obtain and weren’t the best cost effective solution.
My buddy @Roux breaks down the various strip costs pros/cons iirc in his thread Here
My cob rig uses cluo48’s and it is respectable for only 200w, but I feel like 200w of solstrips would ourperform it.
Go with the strips they are hella easy to build with and scale nicely.
