not just a matter of taste, but health

"Study after study has linked working the night shift and exposure to light at night to several types of cancer...

While light of any kind can suppress the secretion of melatonin, blue light does so more powerfully. ...

... compact fluorescent lightbulbs and LED lights ... tend to produce more blue light.

The physics of fluorescent lights can't be changed, but coatings inside the bulbs can be so they produce a warmer, less blue light. LED lights are more efficient than fluorescent lights, but they also produce a fair amount of light in the blue spectrum."

Sounds like the aura has more aggressive coating on the leds, which may be a good thing health wise, not just aestheically.
