Really?
You don't understand?
From what perspective do you see working with led's to be an alternative?
Just to make a buck? That would be the only reason I could think of doing something you have no passion for. I have no desire to work with a product that takes away from what I love to do.

In your profile you state you are a "Neon Artist", but yet you dont understand? Strange.
Usually an artist has a strong passion for their work/medium. Would most "brush artists" desire to buy a digital printer to produce their "end product"? That's just one analogy.If you had a passion for NEON as an artist, maybe you would "understand".

I guess your first 4-5 words answered your own question.
"I really don't understand..."
