With LEDs, I can yet speak to longevity, but the new cheap ones sure seem better to me than the earliest ones I tried. They are certainly brighter, whiter and dimmable!
I cross my fingers and hope I'm right, that manufactures learn to do better for less money as time goes by and demand scales up.

Same for me. The early CFL bulbs I bought died very quickly. Others I got took over two minutes to get any kind of brightness at all. I would like to get led bulbs but don't want to waste my money.
