Depending on your electricity costs that 120 watts could be costing you between $40 (6c/kWh) to $200+ a year. Like others have said, I think everyone has their own specific circumstances whether it be space, geography, money, etc.Reason for me to use HLG QB kit is because my grow space is small and I cannot extract the heat from MH/HPS properly or I would be using those instead. Also my 280watts of QB lighting is pretty much on par with a 400hps so a little less power consumption but that amounts to pennies really. Heat extraction is my main issue.
edit: I think they both have their pros and cons but imo the technology has nowhere left to go except to LED and beyond. Cheers.
